Over 180 guests attended a fashion show and light salmon lunch held at Patshull Park Golf Club, which helped to raise money towards the Midlands Air Ambulance charity.

The event was organised by Paulette Morris, of Bridgnorth, who is the lady captain of Worfield Golf Club, near Bridgnorth and has chosen the MAAC as the chosen charity for her year in office.

The fashion show was staged using professional models showcasing the Autumn range from Aristocats of Penn.

Paulette Morris, said: “The men’s captain Stuart Corbett and fellow members of Worfield are also supporting the MAAC this year and we have managed to raise a combined total of £7,400 since taking office in March, so we hope to easily raise in excess of £10,000 over the year.

“This charity is very close to my heart and I must thank the many businesses from around Bridgnorth who have donated such splendid prizes for the raffle and we are delighted to be raising funds for what is an essential emergency service throughout the region.”

Money raised from the raffle was matched by Barclays Bank of Bridgnorth and manager Janet James, who attended the event, commented: “As a local bank we have been supporting several community projects for many years and this one in particular is a very worthwhile cause indeed, so we are happy to help.”

Maria Jones of Midland Air Ambulance, added: “As most people know, the MAAC receives no government or lottery funding at all and needs over £7m per year just to maintain its vital duties operating three helicopters across the Midlands region.

“We are therefore extremely grateful to groups like these ladies from Worfield Golf Club who go to great lengths organising events to raise much needed funds for the charity.”
