Fun night nets cash

Dorinda Moffat, 25, organised the night to raise money for the North Wiltshire branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

And three friends also dressed up and performed songs from the Moulin Rouge film.

"It was fantastic," said Dorinda, of Frobisher Drive. "A very, very good night.

"Everyone was really up for it. People made a big effort and got dressed up.

"We did Lady Marmalade then the can-can and got everybody up dancing. The atmosphere was brilliant."

Dorinda thanked the Swallow Hotel in South Marston, where the event was held, for helping to decorate the hall and everyone who organised the night.

The amount raised is not yet known but it is more than £500.

Dorinda, whose father suffers from the debilitating disease, has raised a total of £2,000 for the charity.

Last year she walked the Inca Trail in Peru to raise funds.

Before Friday's event Dorinda had received a letter of support from the real Moulin Rouge in Paris and she may send them photos from the night.
