110 dancers from across the North East and beyond turned out to wish popular drummer, Howard Miles, a happy 65th Birthday on Saturday 9th November, at the Shildon Masonic Hall.
Howard, who has played drums on the local dancing scene for over 40 years, was also resident drummer at the Grosvenor WMC in Bishop Auckland.
He was guest of honour at the fundraising buffet and 50-50 dance, which was organised by friends and family and raised an amazing £730 for Cancer Research.
Howard, who will also be known to many from his daytime jobs as a TV engineer for D.E.R. and later Radio Rentals, was delighted that an event to celebrate his birthday had raised such a tremendous amount for the charity selected by himself and his wife Kathy, and he thanked everyone involved for their generous support.
He plans to spend his newly found free time with his family.
