Our Summer Ball was held on Saturday, 8th August, at the Lyceum, Port Sunlight, Wirral.

The Summer Ball was sold out well before the event, making it one of our most successful functions ever.

Many thanks to all who attended, and special thanks to the behind-the-scenes folk who work so hard to make these events such a success, Derek Mulvihill, Brian Smart, Ron Hutchinson and Alan O'Flanagan, to name just a few.

So sit back and relax and enjoy the short video of our 2026 Summer Ball
