Friday was an extremely eventful day for the GSPCA.
Having released the seal pups Eden and Trinity on Jethou in the afternoon, a fund raiser was being organised thanks to those on Herm and the Mermaid Tavern.
The tickets which sold out almost as quickly as they went on sale included the return boat to Herm, entry to the Mermaid Tavern, a wonderful spread of food and a fantastic show with local band Fade 2 Grey.
The weather was mild, with sunny spells, the food was great and the entertainment had the whole place dancing.
The funds raised will be shared between World Aid and the GSPCA.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'A huge thank you must go to all the team on Herm, at the Mermaid tavern, Fade 2 Grey and of course the 400 strong crowd that attended on Friday.'
'It was a fantastic atmosphere and the funds raised with help animals in Guernsey and World Aid.'
'We are so grateful to all on Herm island for arranging a wonderful event and inviting us to receive a share of the money raised.'
Some of those that went along to the event said -
Corinne Connolly said 'Friday was a really good night.'
Janine Swarbrick said 'What a brilliant night.'
Jo Fox said 'Fade 2 Grey must be one of the best bands in Guernsey, awesome evening!'
Rachel Tracey on facebook said 'What an amazing night! One of my best nights here! 80s music rocks. Thanks to all the staff and the 400 people who attended . Raised loads for charity!!'
Amanda Rouget on facebook said 'The food was delicious!'
The GSPCA would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved, it was a wonderful evening and great atmosphere.
