Thank you Lloyd. You're a star.

 
 
The Becca Birthday Ball - 9th September 2006

The Pink Ball was a huge success and raised £5845.84.  Charlotte and Hollie organised a wonderful evening with an amazing firework display to celebrate the charity's success so far.  The night's entertainment had been carefully considered to reflect the vibrant and fun personality of Becca.  Everyone had a thank you gift of a tub of Vaseline as Becca adored Vaseline and could not leave the house without it.

Many thanks to all who attended and supported this event and many, many thanks to Hollie and Charlotte's wonderful organisation skills in arranging such a memorable night.

The next one is on Saturday, September 13th 2008 at The Lion Quays, Oswestry.
