Launch of North Westmeath Hospice Bi Annual Ball

The North Westmeath Hospice are hosting their Bi-Annual Ball on Saturday November 16 this year, at Bloomfield House Hotel.

Tina Kellegher, star of stage and screen, is compère for the evening. Once again the Pick Ups, who have entertained at the ball for several years, will have guests dancing until the early hours.

There will be a drinks reception on arrival accompanied by music from the Sweet Tunes Choir, directed by Angie Lynch. This is followed by a five-course dinner with wine, and there will be further surprises in store, from an auction and a raffle with lots of generous prizes.

It is important to know that every ticket gives €60 directly to the Hospice Home Care Services in this area and all proceeds from the auction and raffle go directly to service provision.

Tickets €100 are available from the Hospice office and committee members.

The organisers look forward to seeing friends old and new joining us on the night to Jingle and Mingle while we kick off the festive season.
