Ball revellers help to tackle AIDS

FINAL tickets are on sale for the Over The Rainbow charity ball at the Riviera International Centre on Saturday.

Revellers will be wearing masks for the black-tie masquerade evening, which includes a three-course dinner and entertainment.

The evening, which coincides with World AIDS Day, raises money for various local charities including the Eddystone Trust.

Over the past eight years the event has contributed thousands of pounds to worthwhile causes.

Entertainer the Dame Edna Experience will be joined on stage by local jazz vocalist Jason Abrahams and Debbie Farrell as Shirley Bassey.

The evening's entertainment runs from 7pm, with music until 3am. Tickets cost £42.50 and are available from the Torquay Tourist Information Centre and the Riviera International Conference centre.
