The 2009 Downham Market Summer Ball

It was held on Saturday 30th May 2009 in Downham Market Town Hall, from 7:30pm until 1:00am.

Downham Market Summer Ball Committee chose that year due to the current economic climate to change the event to something a bit more affordable - but still just as much fun!

So in 2009 we held a DISCO - 60's 70's & 80's through the ages...... The DISCO we held was in conjunction with the Downham Market Festival Week whose theme was through the ages.

We asked our guests to let their hair down and dress up in 60's, 70's or 80's costume to give the night that bit more atmosphere.... but it was not compulsory! And as a way of encouraging our guests to dress up we offered a prize to the best dressed! And it worked. Well over 50% of you dressed up and boogied the night away!

Bex photography was also there to capture your evening.

 

Catering

Catering was carried out by KJ Catering who served:

A BBQ consisting of a burger, 2 sausages, a piece of chicken, a roll and butter, green salad, coleslaw and new potatoes. (There was also a vegetarian option available if pre-booked)

Licensed bar was available on the night.

  Entertainment

 

We grooved on down all night long to a DISCO by Black Express Roadshow, who were the DISCO that supported the band at our 2008 Ball.

 

  The Price

Tickets were just £10 each and were on sale at LEWKS, Bee's Motors and the Chequers in Wimbotsham.

 

 

 

  Fund Raising

 

On the night we held a charity raffle. And raised £300 for King's Lynn QEII Hospital - for their Breast Care Cancer department. Thank you to everyone who helped towards this great cause.
