Eric James from Guildford Lions said: “I am delighted to confirm the evening has again been a major success and that we have achieved a profit of £44,000, which, given the awful weather conditions and increased costs we experienced, is a tremendous result.

“This year our nominated charity was Guildford-based Oakleaf Enterprise and I am happy to confirm the club has agreed an immediate donation of £10,000 to fund 240 one-to-one counselling sessions. For more information on this service click here
