The Crawley Ball

19/06/2022

What a fabulous night we all had at the Ball last Saturday!

We now have confirmation of the total that was raised on the night for Wi******er Hospice …
it is the absolutely amazing sum of just over £20,000.

This is an incredible amount and will make a huge difference to the services that the Hopsice can provide for families in need. It has exceeded all of our expectations, so thank you, just thank you!

We’re also delighted to be able to share the photos kindly taken during the evening by James of 4K Media Limited

Please do take a scroll though and re-live some happy memories. You can download any photos at no cost, simply by entering your email address when requested. Enjoy!

What of The Crawley Ball since Saturday gone?
The King is (still) in his counting house counting out the Hospice Money. A survey is in preparation, so that we may learn what was to like and what was not to ones' taste. A list of grateful thanks of gigantic proportions is in a state of address.
In the mean time, to satisfy request upon request, we are delighted to share Lady Whistledown for your delight and delectation.

With just over a week to go, it’s time to say a huge thank you to Pole to Pole Marquees.
The brilliant team at Pole to Pole Marquees is supporting the Ball. Without their incredible support, there would be no Ball and we wouldn’t be able to raise funds on the night for Wi******er Hospice - it’s that simple.
It’s not an everyday occurrence, but if you happen to need a marquee for a private, corporate or community event, then do put Pole to Pole at the top of your list. You won’t be disappointed, and the quality and flexibility of their team, especially their knowledge and experience during the planning phase, sets them Poles apart (excuse the pun!)
Thank you Pole to Pole!
