A cricket club is hosting a summer ball to earn money for Help for Heroes, after two of its members were injured on duty.<\/p>\n
Colchester and East Essex Cricket Club wants to honour soldiers fighting in Afghanistan by raising funds for the charity, the Essex County Standard reports.<\/p>\n
A ball will take place on August 20th and efforts are already underway to gain as much interest in the event as possible.<\/p>\n
Spaces for up to 250 guests will be available and tickets will cost between £40 and £50.<\/p>\n
A raffle and auction are planned for the event and local residents and businesses are being asked to contribute items to serve as prizes.<\/p>\n
Organisers might consider having some live music at the ball, as the Clitheroe Advertiser recently revealed a concert is being held at Burnley Football Club to help the same cause.<\/p>\n
Musicians and singers from the area will attend the gig on June 10th, where there will also be other attractions such as dancing and an auction.<\/p>\n
