Farmers give service a lift

A SUCCESSFUL Wiltshire Farmers' Ball raised £1,000 for Wiltshire Air Ambulance earlier this month.

The fourth annual ball, held at the White Horse Leisure Centre in Calne, attracted 340 farmers and friends from around the county as tickets sold out quickly.

Co-organiser Barbara Sealy said they could have sold more tickets but there had to be a limit due to fire regulations. "It was absolutely fantastic. It was the most successful yet," she said.

"We had a waiting list and people queuing up for tickets. It's a very popular event."

Mrs Sealy praised the work of the Wiltshire Air Ambulance. She said: "It does such a wonderful service. They help farmers when they have accidents and rely on donations to keep going."
