The Zone kicked off their Pride fundraising in the run up to this year's Summer Festival with this day of entertainment, courtesy of a galaxy of local talent.
Hosted by the statuesque Spice, the lineup included Betty Swollocks, Julie Glitter, Candy Rel, Miss Hap, Ricky Royale and a host of others.
In addition to donations placed on top of the price of drinks, a bucket was frequently shaken around the venue - with monies raised going towards the cost of this year's Pride event - helping to keep the event free to summer revellers.
Well done to Sharon and her team for putting the fun into fundraising!
loved it!
After driving back from Bournemouth, I hosted from about 8.30 and have to say how wonderful a day it was.
All the acts that took part gave themselves completely and the customers were very generous.
The total raised was £382.50 which included 20 pence from every drink sold. I am sure you will agree for such a small bar this is a great achievement.
All those entertaining and deserving thanks:
'Straight' Steve - for singing and sound from start to finish...
Spice - for hosting first half (and a bit while I drove back from B)

It was great to have so many people enjoy themselves and due to a few traffic problems my other self Candy Rel was forced to do her first charity performance with no warning!!!
