A popular fund-raising event arose from the ashes of Covid to raise £10,000.
The 5th AFC Kempston Town & Bedford College Ball was held at the Mercure Bedford Hotel (still known as the Moat House to some).
Organised by Gary Ingerson, Michaela Martingale and Kelly Jeffries of Greycourt Florists & Events, the event was in memory of two special people taken too soon: Sara Ingerson and Alan Ward.
The Knottleys band stepped up at the 11th hour to replace the original group as they sadly cancelled due to the lead singer having Covid.
Compere was Lee Partridge and five award-winning chefs were Raj Mandal, Rob Kennedy, Steve Scuffell, Stu McCleod and Terry Woolcock.
A cheque for £10,000 was presented to Sophie Samways of Cancer Research UK. This brings to £100k the amount raised for charity over the past decade by Gary and Michaela.
