Well... what can we say other than a huge THANKYOU to the 240 guests and countless supporters for making our third annual Ball such a success and helping us raise £2,896 for Breakthrough!
However, we don’t just measure success in terms of fundraising – for us, a key aspect of the Ball has always been how much our guests enjoy themselves, and based on feedback so far, this year’s bash did not disappoint. We couldn’t have done it without the help and support of many kind people, so once again... THANKYOU!!
Below is a sprinkling of photos from the evening to give you a taste of how it went - hopefully we'll be adding more soon once they've been organised so you can see more of the ball, our members and wonderful
supporters!

| Many tables had candelabra |
 |
| We had an authentic ships bell to bring the crew and guests to order |
 |
