are now on sale for the Big Band Gala
Night on the 2nd July. £10 adults, £5 children (although probably only
suitable for older children}, includes buffet supper. There will only be 120
tickets in total because of the seating capacity at St. Edward's Hall, so if
you are unable to come because of other commitments please don't buy a ticket
as we would love to have a "full house" on the night. However, if you
wish to support the event in another way, donations of cash or raffle prizes
will be gratefully received.
