The Friends of Ashville’s annual winter ball raised £13,000 for Ashville College funds and local charities. The dinner and dance was held at Harrogate’s Crown Hotel and attended by more than 180 parents, teachers, staff and former pupils.

Musical entertainment was provided by the Jono Quartet and, following a three-course dinner, guests danced the night away to Harrogate DJ, Matt Naughton.

Auction prizes included a pair of diamond earrings donated by Montpellier Antiques, a helicopter flight donated by Hields Aviation and a box at Leeds United courtesy of Nigel Brown.
