Ryde Fashion Show Raises £1,500 For Isle Of Wight Prostate Cancer Support

Two Ryde shops have teamed up to raise money for a local charity with their Autumn/Winter fashion show.

The bi-annual event raised more than £1,500 for the Isle of Wight Prostate Cancer Support Group.

The event, jointly held by ladies fashion store Bellissima and lingerie shop Sugar and Spice, took place at The Royal Esplanade Hotel on the weekend before Halloween.

The room was decorated to the theme of Halloween and guests were treated to a “thriller” opening dance routine, performed by several of the models and two guests from Spotlight Theatre company.

There was also an appearance from 'James Bond' and 'M' to open the second half.

Sheila Wilson, owner of Sugar and Spice, said:

“It's always a fabulous evening and such is the popularity of the event tickets had sold out several weeks beforehand”

Tina Lettington, owner of Bellisssima, added:

“A lot of work goes into the evening and this time included making the costumes for the thriller routine, but it's always worth it when we hand over that cheque”

A cheque for £1,878 was presented to Graham Dooley and Pam Blayney, representatives of the Isle of Wight Prostate Cancer Support Group.
