🍾 PRE-ORDER YOUR DRINKS
As everyone will be arriving at a similar time, we’d strongly recommend pre-ordering your drinks so they’re ready for your table when you arrive.
This will help us get everyone seated promptly and keep the evening running smoothly.
Please complete the drinks pre-order form and return it to the venue by Sunday 1st November.
📄 The drinks pre-order form is attached in the comments.
💷 PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING CASH!
We’ll have plenty of opportunities to get involved in our fundraising throughout the evening, so please make sure you bring some cash with you!
❤️ HEADS & TAILS – £10 PER PERSON
During the starter course, we’ll be collecting £10 per person, which includes:
🎉 Entry into our Heads & Tails game, with a £250 cash prize up for grabs!
🎟️ Your first raffle ticket/box
There will be an envelope on each table for everyone to pop their £10 into, which our team will collect during the starters.
🎰 CASINO FUN – BLACKJACK & ROULETTE!
We’re bringing a little casino glamour to the evening with both Blackjack and Roulette tables!
There’ll be prizes for our winners and runners-up, along with the chance to take part in our first and last roulette spins and first and last blackjack card draws.
These are always great fun and another opportunity to raise money for the Foundation, so please bring cash if you’d like to get involved!
🎟️ RAFFLE & AUCTION
We’ll also have our raffle and auction, with some fantastic prizes and lots of opportunities to support the Foundation throughout the night.
🚕 PLEASE PRE-BOOK YOUR TAXIS!
Mobile phone signal isn’t great at Bowers Mill, so we’d strongly recommend arranging your return taxi in advance rather than trying to book one on the night.
🍸 Last orders – 12.30am
🎶 Music finishes – 1.00am
We’d suggest booking your taxi for around 1.15am, giving you time to enjoy the whole evening before heading home.
❤️ AND FINALLY…
Most importantly, come ready for a fantastic evening filled with laughter, dancing, wonderful memories and, hopefully, lots of money raised for some amazing causes in Toby’s memory.
We really can’t wait to see you all and share another special evening with our wonderful supporters.
Thank you, as always, for being part of it. ❤️
