The East Lancashire Chamber hosted their annual President’s Summer Ball at the Mercure Dunkenhalgh, Clayton-le-Moors, sponsored by Alert Fire and Security Ltd.

Businesses from across East Lancashire and beyond attended to enjoy a Mediterranean themed evening of fun, dancing and a celebration of the region’s business community.

Guest speaker Justin Urquhart Stewart provided a wry look at the EU Referendum and entertainment came from Paul Guard and Amy Toole. A raffle on the evening raised £1,500 for local charities Rosemere and East Lancashire Hospice.
