It has been confirmed that reigning Miss Blackpool Hollie Robinson (pictured) will be attending the Armed Forces week Gala Dinner at the Norbreck Castle Hotel in Blackpool on Friday evening (29th June).Blackpool's unique Armed Forces Week attracts thousands on former and current members or the Armed Forces and stages a whole range of activities over a 10 day period.
One of the highlights is this Gala Dinner where veteran get the chance to dress in their dress uniforms, wear their medals and enjoy an evening of reminiscences with old comrades and great live entertainment.
The Norbreck Castle hotel venue is the same place where the Miss Blackpool 2012 Grand Final will be taking place on Friday 17th August and the competition organisers see this as a good opportunity to help that event to the various local business people and dignitaries who will be there on Friday evening.
Organiser Karen Cookson - herself a former Miss Blackpool - said: "A lot of people don't realise that you can buy tickets for the Miss Blackpool Final so we like to do some networking and spread the word. It's always a really enjoyable glamourous occasion and this year it will be at the Norbreck Castle Hotel on Friday 17th August. It is one of the oldest, most prestigious and fun competitions going - what better to help promote Blackpool...?"
