190 guests enjoyed a great night and gave fantastic support resulting in a £5000+
profit. The primary aim was to just do it and have a village event, to make such a large sum with the first attempt was a bonus.
The ball committee set the following objectives for the money raised:
1. A tangible asset for the village that could be attributed to the 2004 Summer Ball.
2. To be a benefit to the school as well as Helmdon residents.
3. Reflect the ideas and direction set out in the village plan.
Open discussions where held and suggestions taken from attending HyHo members.
A wooden staging and stepped seating area to be located on the school field was the popular choice and meet the all of the above objectives. Its hoped that such an asset can be used as an outdoor classroom, theatre and seating area.
Match funding and grants are currently being applied for to increase the sum of money to be spent and the project can’t be finalized until these are complete.
The majority of the money raised is being held by the Friends of the School, this has many benefits being a registered charitable organisation.
Other smaller sums of money has been donated to village activities and are detailed in the financial report.
Special thanks to Sue Blackburn, John Plunkett, Gareth Dean, Alistair Ezzy who were the main driving force. Plus a thanks to everybody that came, drank and spent money.
It is provisionally planned to have the 2nd HyHo Ball in 2006.
