Emily’s Ball

May 10th, 2008

Last night (May 9th) I went to a charity ball in the Riviera International Conference Centre in Torquay. I was invited by word of mouth, and hoped to take my new girlfriend for a good night out.

Emily’s ball was the idea of Miss Torbay (an old school friend) to celebrate the birthday of Emily Gelghorn – who would of been 23 this year. Emily died at the age of 11, the killer being a brain tumour. This event was a big fund-raising challenge.

Although my girlfriend was unable to go, I still made the most of it. I went with two good friends and their dates. The event was ‘Black Tie’ which meant that all were well dressed and looking good.

A live band played (The Cadence) with a DJ whilst they took a break. There was a tombola, chocolate fondue fountain, and professional photography going on as side lines to the event.

Overall I enjoyed it, but it was a shame I was without a date :-(
