A ball featuring live music and The Big Party Band will be staged at the end of this month to support a Silsden teenager who was badly hurt playing rugby.

The August 31 event at Skipton’s Rendezvous Hotel will raise cash for Nathan Cubbitt, who broke his neck during a match in 2011.

The ball will begin at 7.30pm, and will include a two-course meal followed by the musical entertainment.

There will also be an auction with rugby-related prizes, all for £20 per ticket. Tables are available for businesses, costing £200 for a table for ten. Smart attire only.
