Marlborough businesses will be celebrating a red, white and blue year in their town with an Olympic Jubilee Ball.
To mark passing of the Olympic torch through Marlborough on May 23 and the Queen´s diamond jubilee celebrations in June, Marlborough Chamber of Commerce is holding a black tie event at Marlborough Town Hall.
Ticket holders will enjoy a champagne reception, three course dinner, live music and a charity auction in aid of Marlborough-based Swift Medics.
Swift Medics is a charity of volunteer doctors from hospital and general practice who provide what is known as ‘pre-hospital emergency care’.
The Medics provide emergency care at the scene of serious road traffic accidents and other life threatening medical emergencies including falls from a height, serious burns and incidents where casualties are unconscious or trapped.
The event will be held on Saturday, May 19 from 7pm. Tickets are £40, available from Chamber president Paul Shimell at Specsavers or from committee member Effie Robins of Joules. Both shops are on High Street, near the town hall.
