If you're here, you will know what Ash and Bella have been through this year. They have been so brave and dignified and I know lots of us are in awe at how they are handling their loss. This fundraiser is not directly about our lovely Sophie but a massive show of love (via a 'whip round' amongst friends) to throw these two resilient, brilliant bloody kids the 18th party of all 18th parties!
So with Bruce's blessing, we are trying to cover as much of the following as we can:
We have sourced a venue (Rosslyn Park) which will cost just upwards of £1000. There are some additional charges for compulsory security etc
We need a fairly decent pot of money to dress the venue (some of you will know that it's very Rugby at the moment!)
We have access to DJ's (but open to anyone who fancies doing a set) and know we will probably need funds to hire some kit and lights
We have a (free) Glitter Bar
And if budget allows we'll look at fun add ons like photo booths etc
In the incredible instance that we cover these costs, then Pizza is next on the list and finally, a starter for ten behind the bar!
The generosity of everyone towards the Pemberton family has already been incredible (but not surprising) so please don't feel obliged and do only give what you can spare.
And let's throw these twins a Proper Party!
