THE Plymouth branch of the Jubilee Sailing Trust will be holding a Grand Ball at the New Continental Hotel on Saturday October 24. The acclaimed round-world sailor Conrad Humphreys will be the guest and, following a three-course dinner, there will be dancing to Band of Gold.

JST is a charity which promotes the integration of physically disabled and able-bodied people through tall ship sailing. It has been running for nearly 30 years, and during that time has enriched, and in many cases changed, the lives of many thousands of people. JST's two ships, Lord Nelson and Tenacious, are unique and have been built specifically to allow this to happen.

Tickets and more information are available from Alan Puddicombe on 01752 862868.
