"This year, the committee worked extraordinarily hard in order to achieve a seamless move to the University who hosted us all very professionally.
"We are grateful to the many local businesses whose sponsorship helped the Ball to achieve over £8,000 for distribution to local charities."
A tombola, raffle and ticket draw was also held.
A special presentation was made to Chairman Keith Wilson for his long service to the committee.
"Keith celebrates, this year, 50 years as a member of the committee, incorporating 21 years as Chairman," said Mr Noble.
"This is an unprecedented achievement and Keith has competently steered the Ball towards ever increasing levels of success and enjoyment."
