    Excitement is building as the auction list grows for the Brazilian Ball.  A small selection of the donated goodies includes:

    • Travel including narrow boat trips, Cumbrian B&B and Thorpe Park nights
    • Treat yourself with professional haircuts, pampering products, spa treatments, massages & facials
    • Entertainment including tickets to dance, theatres, Doncaster Dome and paintballing
    • Jewellery including a designer necklace, chain
    • Foodie treats including luxury chocolate, Nibbles and Demouchel
    • Loads of other items, even including a pink ukelele!

    Please do come ready to join in – in one night you could sort your next holiday, early Christmas presents and treats for yourself as well as getting ‘brownie points’ with a significant other… and all benefiting this really worthwhile cause.

    More news on the way soon – if you haven’t bought your tickets, the time is rapidly running out!  If you have ordered tickets, please make sure you have also passed on payment, if you haven’t already.

    A big thank-you to the 100 or so people who have already booked into what looks like the event of the year!
