Friday, 01 May 2009 AROUND 100 women enjoyed an afternoon of dancing, drinks and donations at the Workington Town Ladies’ Day.
The event, on Sunday, saw the rugby club’s bar turned into a ladies’ only area as women came together to let their hair down and raise money for charity. This year’s event was held to raise cash for charity Macmillan Cancer Support. Les Smallwood, organiser and club director, said the day went well and there had been a lot of interest in it. He said: “The turnout was great. Women have showed up, taken part and enjoyed themselves. “Ultimately the ladies’ day is organised to try and raise money for charity so this year we chose to donate the proceeds to Macmillan Cancer Support.â€
The afternoon included a disco and live music from Judith Jones Band and raised £409.
