CARIBBEAN fun will be the name of the game when Hampshire Autistic Society holds its summer ball.

Palm trees, cocktail shakers and parasols will decorate Winchester Guildhall transforming it into a tropical dream.

Now the society is appealing for groups of work colleagues and friends to take part in the fun filled evening on Saturday by snapping up the remaining 50 tickets on sale.

On the night there will be themed Caribbean food and drink, entertainment including a traditional six-piece steel band, a table magician, limbo dancers and disco.

The society's community fundraiser Sally Stemp said: "It's going to be a great event.

"Everyone will be able to enjoy an unforgettable evening while supporting us at the same time."

Money raised from the ball will go towards supporting 14 students with autism. As part of its project the society wants to acquire two family-size homes for a total of eight students between the ages of 16 and 25.

Tickets cost £60 per person or £540 for a table of ten.
