TICKETS are on sale for a May Ball to raise money for Noble’s Hospital’s maternity unit.
The black tie May Ball takes place at the Mount Murray Hotel and Country Club, in Santon, on May 4.
It is one of a number of fundraising events taking place as part of The Jane’s Big Push, a nine-month campaign spearheaded by the charity With Women Worldwide and backed by Isle of Man Newspapers.
The event starts at 7.30pm with a champagne reception, and will be followed by a carvery and dancing until late. There will also be an auction of quality goods and a raffle.
Tickets cost £40. Call Anne Graham (491370), Dianne Rubery (436036) or Jane Shutt (317237).
Meanwhile, a pub quiz takes place at the Archibald Knox pub, in Onchan, on Monday from 8pm. It costs £10 per team of six, and you can enter on the night.
The campaign’s aim is to raise £20,000 which will be used by midwives working to refurbish two rooms on the labour ward into a home-from-home birthing room.
It will provide a much more relaxed and low-tech environment.
It is hoped that residents will give their support too by getting together and holding their own events.
