Bristol-based band “The Alligators” are returning to the Dolphins Hall, Tetbury by special request on Saturday 17th October (8pm – 11.30pm). The band will be playing their wide selection of 60s and 70s music to raise funds for Tetbury Hospital.

After having played at the Dolphins Hall on a hugely successful Valentine’s night this year, the Friends of Tetbury Hospital were very keen to repeat the event.

There will be a raffle on the night. Tickets cost £10.00 either from Tetbury Hospital or Jesse Smith, Long Street, Tetbury.

The Friends of Tetbury Hospital run many fund raising events each year, all locally based; these are publicised in the Tetbury Advertiser and on the Friends page of the hospital’s website (www.tetburyhospital.co.uk/friends).

Tetbury Hospital Trust is a charity established in 1991 which receives payment from the NHS for patient treatments though not for new or replacement equipment. The Hospital’s survival depends on local fund-raising and the generosity of local people. In addition, local people donate money through their wills and over recent years income from legacies has grown.

Since the recent NHS re-organisation, the Hospital serves both Gloucestershire and Wiltshire with more than 20 consultants from both counties holding regular clinics there.
