Gala Ball

Well thats what i have been calling it, it was the Gala Black Tie Dinner on Saturday night.



A gala event i have been sooo looking forward to. I love a Christmas Doo!
And this was the day!
The gala have been selling tickets and we sold out quite quickly with groups from the rotary club to local works groups  and charity groups using it as there Christmas night out.
On the afternoon i met with Alison from the committee to dress the room, as you can see.
I did the balloons and Christmas tree decorations


The big black balloon decorations came from Paul who got them from work as they were from this works black friday sale , but a week later they were still looking good so he managed to bring eight of them for our night and one for home, that the kids love.

After decorating the room , Paul and i had a couple of hours on our own as the kids were staying overnight at my mum and dads, 

Yay, its doesn't happen that often that we have a night out  and  we made the most of it, but its strange, so when we get home Paul puts on the Tv to get the football results and i listen to music on the pc with my headphones till i realize that i can listen to music as loud as i like as its not like the kids are in bed upstairs and we had a few Bacardis!

We got ready and i had bought a new Collectif dress specially for the occasion and wore my nannas Mink coat which only ever seems to get an outning on an evening like this but went great with my dress!
No my hair isn't blue, but i did darken it to violet!



The singing group we hired were great and played my type of music, swing classics, then for there second set all the popular classics including queen which made Paul very happy






We are definitely planning more as we made lots of money for the Gala with the chorley raffle and bottle rolling.

Can't wait for the next one
better start planning it!
