May 2010
Tickets for the Sparkle Ball are selling well, but as we have to pay for the buffet in advance there will definitely be no tickets on sale at Sparkle and in fact sales will close by mid-June. So if you are thinking about attending the Saturday night Ball then please book as soon as you can to avoid disappointment! See HERE
We do need a bit of help from you too! As previously we are looking for some volunteers to act as Stewards in the park on the Saturday afternoon. You would only be required to do a two hour ‘shift' - 12 noon until 2pm / 2 - 4 / 4 - 6 or 6 - 7.30pm. The choice of time is down to you. We are obliged by law to have Stewards or the event can't take place, it's not hard work and we would appreciate some support.
If you are willing to volunteer then please contact Jane Maybe who is the Chief Steward this year: jane_maybe@yahoo.co.uk
