After a bubbly start to the evening with aperitifs taken on the lawn in glorious sunshine, the party moved into the vast but very full marquee, decorated so beautifully by Victoria Harriet and Georgia.
Hog roasts provided sustenance for a long evening of entertainment: dancing to Chicory tip, the magical Etienne Pradier (who as predicted was a hit with the ladies…), and an extremely witty yet somewhat risqué performance from our very own Shaun. He also conducted a fabulous auction with the top prize going under the hammer for £1000!
On a more serious note, the summer ball has raised £8291.19 for the Muttom Tsunami Appeal with donations still coming in. When certain elements of this have been Gift Aided, it will take profits significantly higher.
The atmosphere on the evening was very special indeed, and one that was only achieved by having such fun-loving and supportive guests. I would like to say a huge and most sincere ‘Thank You’ to everybody who attended and/or sponsored the Summer Charity Ball.
With love
Rachel
