This year the ball moves from its previous October timing to July and offers local businesses, organisations and clubs an opportunity to utilise the ball as a mid-winter function for staff and supporters.

To broaden appeal, the dress code has been relaxed a little so guests don’t have to dress for black tie formal - ladies can choose to wear their favourite cocktail dress and men, their best suit and tie.

None the less, the glamorous atmosphere of the evening remains - guests will be served with champagne and canapés upon arrival, followed by a sumptuous dinner and fine wine; a surprise theatre performance and the excitement of a live charity auction will entertain throughout the evening. And then you can dance the night away to your favourite music from the 60’s to current day with our new twelve piece band D-Groove.

Tickets are $120 per person, however if you gather together a group of ten, you will save a total of $200 and pay only $100 per person for a fabulous and unique group night out.

Date: Saturday July 30 from 7pm to midnight

Venue: Orewa Arts and Events Centre, Riverside Rd., Orewa

Dress Code: Cocktail to formal
