April update on our June Ball

I am pleased to report that ticket sales are going exceptionally well and we have now sold 475 of the 500 seats available.  The attraction of Brasted’s preparing the food has been an obvious draw but we do still have 25 tickets for sale if anyone wishes to purchase them.  They are £60 each for a four course dinner with a champagne reception and half a bottle of wine per person on the evening.  For further information about ticket availability please speak to Graham Knights on 01603 675618 or gjk@rogers-norton.co.uk.

The event is being used as a springboard to promote not only the firm’s 30th Anniversary but also the good work that Nelsons Journey, our chosen Charity for 2012, actually carry out to help children suffering with bereavement issues.  We have secured the services of Chris Rankin, an Actor in the Harry Potter films, who is also a Patron of Nelson’s Journey, who has very kindly agreed to donate his time for a tea party for four children in Norwich in the near future and this will be auctioned off on the evening to the highest bidder.  We are still looking for auction and raffle prizes to help with our fundraising and if you are able to help in this respect please do let me know on the above telephone number.  We can collect locally if required. 

We are also producing a Souvenir Ball Programme for the evening and there are opportunities available to advertise within the programme at a cost of £100.00 for a full colour A6 advert or £175.00 for the same advert but in an A5 size.  All of the proceeds from the programme will go directly to the Charity and if this is a way that you would wish to support Nelsons Journey whilst getting some good publicity in front of 500 local and regional businesses, please again get in touch.

I would like to take this opportunity of passing on our very severe thanks to those sponsors who have committed themselves to helping us make this event a success and their support is very much appreciated. 

Watch this space for an update in May when we hope to put the final touches to the event.
