2007 Summer Ball Extravaganza!
Our Summer Ball was held on Friday 29th June 2007 at Sandy Park, Exeter.
Our guests enjoyed a beautiful table layout, which included a gift for the ladies.
Dream-A-Way Chairman Jeff Merrett MBE and Secretary Bob Beer
Claude the Comedy Waiter was on hand to entertain the guests as they entered,
then provided some superb table service once seated.
DAW Webmaster Steve Beer with wife, Louise
(L-R) DAW Secretary Bob Beer, DAW Fundraising Co-ordinator Gill Freeman, George Sloan of Timepiece Exeter,
DAW Holidays Co-ordinator Kate Clarke and DAW Chairman Jeff Merrett
Kate and Gill receive their gifts in recognition of the hard work put into making the event a massive success.
Along with the rest of the Ball Committee, Kate and Gill gave up many hours of their free time to
ensure the event was one of the best ever hosted by Dream-A-Way.
This hard work ensures we can raise more vital funds to give even more people a Dream-A-Way holiday!
Two of the many guests enjoying the entertainment.
Dream-A-Way Patron Sir Joh Evans (R) presents MIke Chamberlain with his England Football shirt signed by the team. Mr Chamberlain was the top bidder for the shirt during the Ball Auction
The giant Chocolate Fountain was a perk of the evening for many guests!
After Dinner entertainment included music, entertainers and the MITIE Casino.
The Ball raised a fantastic amount of just under £20,000 - exceeding last year's total,
and one that every person involved can be extremely proud of!
Thank you to everyone invloved.
