A bumper crowd enjoyed another smashing night at See the Future’s annual fundraising ball.
Held at Woodbury Park Hotel, on Woodbury Common, more than 100 suited and booted visitors dined on a three-course meal, won goodies in two auctions and danced the night away. The ball raised £3,900 - a figure that’s still rising - for See the
Future, a Honiton-based sight-loss charity which raises awareness of the importance of regular eye
tests.
