The Bangers & Mash Ball - 26.08.12

Having spent several months on the organising committee for the ball I was very anxious to see it all come together on this Bank Holiday weekend.

Under the theme of 'Best of British' we began decorating the main Hall with red white and blue EVERYTHINGS. You name it!

(yes it's a gnome)

BUT if you as a non-ball-attender have heard anything at all about our annual Ball's you'll have heard of this............................................. the Barrow of Booze!!

Quite literally a wheelbarrow of alcohol that gets auctioned off to the highest bidder. I think in total there were 54 bottles of wine, ale and even some champagne which a very lucky person took home for £325! 

Bargain.

Excellent food (thanks Black Peppermint) and wine (Merci to Steep Hill Wines), FAB music (Love Boat Captains - see our Back To The Future Nights!), beautiful decorations, programmes and auction and raffle prizes (thanks to Design by Distraction among others) and even some magic courtesy of the amazing Scott Perry made this a truly memorable and brilliant night.

If you've never been to one of these ball's before (as I hadn't) I strongly recommend you keep one eye open for it when next August comes around.
