Black Jack, Pontoon, Roulette, Texas Hold'em Poker – whatever the game, residents are encouraged to put on their poker face and go all in to raise funds for Wish4Fish's inaugural Charity Casino Night Out.

Dig out the pearls, silk gloves and bow ties and dress to impress for the charity's first casino night at Marble Bar in Gate Pa on this Friday, which will be MC'd by auctioneer Frank Vosper.

'The dress code is black, white and bling, or anything that will fit the casino theme,” says event organiser Bryce Dineen. 'There's also prizes for the best dressed female and male.”

All funds raised at the event go to Wish4Fish, a charity offering people with intellectual and physical disabilities the chance to get out on the water and go fishing.

The charity runs competitions throughout the year to help fund its activities but during winter weather isn't great for fishing.

'So to keep the momentum of the charity going we're holding a Casino Fundraising Night.”

There's an opportunity to play the card games or simply be part of the atmosphere, says Bryce.

'It's just a fun night to get your friends together to raise some money for the charity.”

The Wish4Fish Casino Fundraising Night Out is at Marble Bar, Gate Pa, on Friday.

A light supper will be provided, with a cash bar available and Marble Bar drink specials. Funny money will be available for purchase on the night.

Tickets cost $25 from the Marble Bar or by contacting Bryce on 021616601 or [email protected]

Door sales start 6.30pm. The event begins 7pm, with cash-up and auction at 9.30pm.

Anyone who wishes to support or sponsor some spot prizes can contact Bryce.
