Entertainment on the night was provided by Wild Card Fun Casinos with Jim Morris and Therese. Guests enjoyed playing roulette and blackjack with the most successful players on the night receiving prizes donated by local businesses.

Mellow jazz was played as people arrived to the beautifully decorated setting of Jasin’s Restaurant at the end of the pier, performed by Kent band, the Mayflies from Tunbridge Wells.

Magic on the night was provided by top London magician Lee Warren who left guests baffled with his close up magic tricks.
