Celebrating in style - for a good cause

The Chamber’s centenary year was celebrated in style at its Cowes Week Ball.

Guests at the event enjoyed a great night out – and raised an incredible £4,600 for the Ellen Macarthur Trust from an auction and a special fundraising casino, which were among the attractions at the Ball.

Guests wined and dined in style, and were also treated to a journey through the last century by entertainers including Charlie Chaplin, George Formby and Norman Wisdom impersonators, a 1940s singer, and an Abba tribute band.

Zoe Stroud, Chamber Group Marketing Manager, said: “It was a special occasion to mark the Chamber’s centenary year, and we were so proud of our guests as they raised so much money for charity.”
