The Gala Dinner on Satuday night was a real highlight with the ballroom rigged for 570 to sit down, in the theme of red, white and blue. After a good meal the Shipmates were royally entertained by the Sephton sea cadet glee club who sang songs from the shows. They received a rapturous standing ovation and £800 in bucket collection, rounded up to £2,000 by the Mayor of Sephton. The evening finished with a live band and dancing.
