Apologies for the delay...
Apologies, apologies -I have been so busy that my Social Networking Guineapig blog has been left unattended - a terrible sin when considering that social networking is about keeping in touch on a regular basis!
Anyway, the Latimer Hinks Charity Ball was a great success - confirmation of total monies raised will follow shortly. The 21st May was a fab, sunny day which helped to enhance the evening. Guests took advantage of Wynyard Hall's extensive terrace and great views.
Monies raised will be distributed to St Teresa's Hospice, Help for Heroes and smaller local charities. Guests have already requested tables for the next ball (in 2 years time, thank goodness!)

Freezing Photo Shoot in the Name of Charity
If you read my blog then you already know about Latimer Hinks raising money for Help for Heroes and St Teresa's Hospice by way of hosting a Charity Ball.
If you don't know, then please click this link Latimer Hinks Charity Ball
In order to promote the event locally it was suggested a photo shoot was in order. Our PR company organised a jeep from the TA (for the military connection). Fine, no problems with that... but then they hit us with.... "perhaps some glamorous ladies from Latimer Hinks dressed in evening wear would like to pose with the jeep to provide a juxtaposition of images!"
It took a little convincing but I managed a trio (2 ladies and one gentleman) to agree. I was also roped in providing 4 representatives from Latimer Hinks, as well as representatives from Help for Heroes, St Teresa's Hospice and the TA!
The day of the photoshoot dawned and it was freezing! The TA representative was fine, dressed in his khakis ready for whatever the weather might throw at him. Also, Help for Heroes and St Teresa's were sensibly dressed.
Enter the Latimer Hinks team "dressed to the nines" in glamourous evening wear. Not the type of attire suitable for spending 20mins posing in the cold weather (i swear my hands were purple!). Add that to the request that we sit ON the jeep - have you ever tried climbing in an evening gown? - not a pretty sight! and nigh on impossible without the help of the TA!!
The resulting photo should be worth it! It better be!!
We've received more donations for the Latimer Hinks Charity Ball, our thanks go to:
