The Mayoress of Cheshire East, Joan Fitzgerald, hosted a ladies charity lunch at Stanneylands Hotel, Wilmslow. The event, which was attended by 101 ladies, featured stalls with items to purchase and a raffle, which raised over £750 in aid of ABF The Soldiers’ Charity and MacMillan Cancer Support.

Joan Fitzgerald said: ‘I was pleased and surprised by the amount of interest shown by many ladies wanting to attend, we had 101 guests altogether. Both of the main objectives of the lunch, enjoyment and fundraising, were more than achieved. I would like to thank all who were involved in any way for their support.’
