Tickets are now on sale to join the Mayor of Barnsley, Cllr Jeff Ennis at his Charity Ball which he’s delighted to be hosting on Friday 1 December at The Fairway, Dodworth. Guests are in for an evening of delicious food and top class entertainment – all whilst raising money to support the Cure Myeloma Appeal and Barnsley Riding for the Disabled.
The evening kicks off at 7pm with a drinks reception in the Bluebell Conferencing and Banqueting Suite, followed by a delicious three course meal. Guests are then in for a real musical treat as they sit back and listen to local gospel singer Janine Dyer – who was also a finalist in series five of The Voice.
On the night, the Mayor will also be holding a Sporting Auction where he’ll be auctioning off some fantastic sport-related experiences and memorabilia – including a once in a life time Barnsley Football Club Mascot package. The package for three includes lunch, a behind the scenes tour of the dressing room area, a pre-match kick about, warm up with the first team on the pitch and the chance to lead the teams out prior to kick off.
Also on sale are tickets for the Mayor’s Sporting Raffle which will be drawn during the Charity Ball and includes some amazing prizes, including:
two signed Barnsley football shirts (home and away)
hospitality package at Barnsley Football Club including a three course meal, refreshments, executive seating, match day programme and team sheets
a private box for 24 people at Doncaster Racecourse
two signed Doncaster Rovers shirts and six tickets to home match
a Yorkshire Cricket Club shirt, poster and autobiography – all signed by Dickie Bird
The Mayor, Cllr Jeff Ennis said: “I’m really looking forward to hosting this year’s Charity Ball to raise money for my chosen charities. Guests are in for a fantastic evening and it’s a great opportunity to get a group of friends or colleagues together for a Christmas night out.
“For those residents that can’t make the ball but would like to support my chosen charities, please buy some Sporting Raffle tickets. There are some fabulous prizes to be won!”
Tickets for the ball cost £27.50 per person and the dress code is black tie or cocktail dress. To reserve a ticket or book a table, please contact the Mayor’s Office on 01226 773804.

- wathupondearne Latest news in Yorkshire: January 24, 2019 11:28:24 AM Scotland’s former First Minister Alex Salmond has been arrested by police and charged, with a report sent to the procurator fiscal. He is due to appear in court in Edinburgh later today. Sky News are reporting that proceedings are now live under the Contempt of Court Act. Police did not say what Salmond, who served as first minister from 2007 to 2014, is charged with. Two people have made harassment complaints against the SNP grandee but he denies them and took successful legal action against the Scottish government over their investigation. Earlier this month a court said the government’s decisions were “procedurally unfair and… tainted with apparent bias”. At the time Salmond said he is “not guilty of any criminality whatsoever.” The party leader resigned following the loss of the Scottish independence referendum but represented Gordon in the House of Commons from 2015 to 2017.

- wathupondearne Latest news in Yorkshire: Published March 23, 2019 08:47:49 AM A report which has agreed to allocate £250,000 from the Berneslai Homes surplus to support work on an affordable warmth programme for private sector housing over the next three years has been approved. Launching in March, at least 106 households will benefit from the overall programme, giving an average spend per property of £2,358. External funding of around £575,000 is also expected to be brought in, allowing hundreds more households to benefit. All energy efficiency works will be delivered through the existing Better Homes Barnsley framework and the new Warm Homes and Hospital Discharge team will help to assess need and eligibility for these schemes. The Barnsley energy tariff, the local energy supply offer provided by Great North Energy, will also be available to the residents who benefit from this programme, offering further potential for them to save money and be able to heat their homes to a comfortable level. The programme will be fully evaluated so that further funding can be secured to make it sustainable in the long-term. It will rely on referrals from health professionals and front-line council workers, although residents can self-refer. Councillor Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “There are currently around 11,500 households in fuel poverty in Barnsley and we also have above average rates of excess winter deaths. “This funding will allow the council to take a more holistic approach to tackling cold homes by joining up with other services to provide heating systems and insulation to the most vulnerable residents living in private sector housing.” Paul Hayes, Chair of Berneslai Homes Board, added: “Last year the Berneslai Homes Board agreed to spend some of its company surplus to support projects aimed at economic regeneration and the health and wellbeing of people in Barnsley. This is the first of those projects aimed at reducing fuel poverty. “We want all residents in Barnsley to have a home that is warm and safe to live in.” This news is linked to Town Spirit. We want to work better together. If everyone in Barnsley does just one thing, together we can make our borough a more welcoming place where people want to live, work and visit.
