BOLTON businessmen and women were among 300 guests who packed into the Hilton Hotel in Blackpool for a retail group’s annual dinner dance.

The guests from the National Federation of Retail Newsagents’ (NFRN) North West district were wined and dined at the hotel earlier this month.

More than 30 NFRN branches supported the evening, which raised more than £2,200 for charity from ticket sales and a raffle.

Cabaret acts included violinist Jessica Crabtree and music from Northern Bopper DJ K and Desi Naach.
