Ascot Ladies Day Fundraiser

It wouldn’t be June without Ascot and it wouldn’t be Ascot without the Clubs annual Ascot Ladies Day fundraiser organised by Rotarian Ken Whalley and his wife Jan.


Over 350 guests treated themselves to a flutter on the horses whilst being entertained by the Bill Bailey Jazz Band and enjoying a three-course meal before dancing on into the night.


Ken, the owner of Kenneth Clive Menswear and Hire in Pattingham, has organised the charity event at Wolverhampton Rugby Club for the past 12 years raising thousands to help local good causes such as Compton Hospice, Wolverhampton MS Therapy Centre and youth clubs in the area.

Despite competing with an England v Wales fixture in the Euros the event raised over £2,300 in support of good causes.
