Arthritis Research UK raised some £6000 from its annual St David's Ball in Cardiff's City Hall.

Income was boosted on the night by an auction and by donations from the photography service provided by Life First Photography of Rhiwbina. The evening included a champagne reception, five-course dinner, and entertainment from Big Mac and his Wholly Soul band and Browns Disco.


"The evening was a great success," said Fred Johnson, regional fundraising manager. "Life First's photography proved very popular, and really helped our funds."
