Lynn Priory Rotary Club (UK) will host their tenth annual black tie dinner and auction gala on Friday, March 26 to benefit the diabetes team at Lynn’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital, who need help in getting essential equipment for those with consistent control problems on insulin therapy. 

Club spokesman Tony Williams said: “Having raised more than £98,000 in the last nine years, we are confident of breaking the £100,000 barrier this year!” 

Williams’ confidence is well founded, as the wide variety of items and opportunities up for auction are amazing.
