CHSA Gala Ball raises £10,000 for RNIB

The Annual Gala Ball, held again this year at Heythrop Park, Oxfordshire, is a wonderful way for members to come together. Alongside the sumptuous dinner, the evening was packed with entertainment including a comedian/compere, silhouette artist, close-up magicians, live band and dancing.  

David Garcia, treasurer of the CHSA and the driving force behind the Gala Ball, said: “The Gala Ball is a wonderful event, bringing together our members for a very special evening. My special thanks to Linda Belcher who did such an amazing job as usual.”

He added: “Putting something back is at the heart of our ethos and so we always take the opportunity to raise funds for charity at the Gala Ball. This year we are celebrating raising over £9,950 for the Royal National Institute of Blind People. A huge thank you to all our members and guests who contributed on the night and to our sponsors who made the whole event possible!”

The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) is the Chairman’s Charity for 2017. The RNIB offers practical and emotional support to people who are losing their sight or are blind or partially sighted, helping them face the future with confidence.
