The first Alt-na-Craig Xmas Ball in aid of Ardgowan Hospice was held at Greenock Town Hall on 8th December and was a huge success.

The Ball also incorporated an Awards Ceremony for the staff and Tom Smillie, Rosemary Hendry, Eleanor Pickett, Alison Bradley, and Pauline MacDonald were the worthy award winners.

The evening was so successful that it is very likely there will be another Xmas Ball next year.
