A remarkable £27,400 was raised for the Bacta Charitable Trust last weekend at the association’s annual Summer Ball, held at the Forest of Arden Hotel and Country Club near Birmingham.
Nearly 200 people from the industry attended the event to benefit the charity supported by the trust, Rays of Sunshine.

The entertainment came from Kev Orkian and a live band, Sway. Strong contingents attended from Reflex Gaming, UDC, SuzoHapp and Blueprint.
Much of the money raised came from a charity auction. Prizes included two tickets for an Arsenal football match, won by Chris Jones of Scott and Jones; six tickets to see a Champions League match at Old Trafford, Manchester, was won by Mark Eldon of Intouch Games; dinner for two at the Hippodrome Casino in London was won by Nick Rudd; and a week in a villa in the south of France was won by Tony Glanville.
Steve Hawkins, chairman of the Bacta Charitable Trust, said: "A huge thank you to all our sponsors and those who donated auction and raffle prizes - your support is massively appreciated."
