"Ball in the Hall" Progress

It's less than 2 months until our Ball and we are progressing well with our plans.  We have booked a fantastic local caterer (and she's a farmers wife!), the entertainment is a local husband and wife team who will sing anything from the 60's to now to suit everyone, and the local footy/netball club are manning the bar for us!

Our hall was in need of a major makeover, so the committee got together and organised for it to be completely painted inside.  So it's now all nice and clean with cream walls instead of purple and blue?!!  I know, what were they thinking - purple and blue!!

Our next dilemma is how to spruce up the hall to make it look special for the evening.  We've had a lot of suggestions from our group, so we're confident it will look fantastic on the night.  We decided on very colourful decorations and they have all been handmade, so we've not had to spend a lot of money to make the Hall look fabulous.

We have a number of handmade items to auction off on the night to make it a more personal event.  Any profits will go towards the Kiva programme our group supports, and some other local groups we'd like to help depending on how much money is left over after the dust settles!
