Exact details to be
confirmed nearer the time, but as always, keep an eye on the
website. Please be aware that we are doing everything within our power to
keep the costs of our functions down. We have noticed increases in
all areas involved in organizing our functions, but we are
constantly negotiating with the hotel and suppliers to minimize the
effects of this on our ticket prices. In order to offer our functions at competitive prices and raise as much money for charity as possible we are always on
the lookout for new sponsors. If you can help us in any way,
be it a cash donation or a raffle prize, please contact us Do you have any good photos of any of our functions? Please share them with us.
Joining the society brings great benefits to our members. Not
only do you get discounted tickets for all of our functions, local
companies are starting to offer our members discounts too.
