The 2006 Down Syndrome Extra 21 Charity Ball
This year’s Ball, held at Essex County Cricket Club Grounds, went with a swing as we danced the night away in their Marquee. The band, Nuff Sed, kept us fully entertained by their diverse repertoire and there were lots of itchy male feet around – was this anything to do with the presence of three young female singers in the band???!!!???.
Due to the generosity of many local companies, we raised a fantastic £659 in the raffle with no outlay in prize money and hope to raise over £1300 profit from the night. The high profit is also thanks to Essex County Cricket Club who gave us use of the Marquee free of charge.
Many thanks go to all the people below who generously donated our raffle prizes:
