THE Friends of Tetbury Hospital have organised a St Valentine’s Day dance on Saturday February 14 to raise funds to help finance the hospital’s new One-Stop Eye-Care Centre.

The dance will be held in The Dolphins Hall in New Church Street, Tetbury starting at 7pm with dancing to 60s and 70s music by The Alligators.

The Friends of Tetbury Hospital is a charity established in 1991 which receives payment from the NHS for patient treatments though not for new or replacement equipment.

The Hospital’s survival depends on local fund-raising and the generosity of local people.

Tickets cost £12.50, include a ploughman’s plate and can be bought from the hospital Reception.

Since the recent NHS re-organisation, the Hospital serves both Gloucestershire and Wiltshire with more than 20 consultants from both counties holding regular clinics at the Hospital.
