Wow! What a fantastic job you, your team and, off course, the Fund Raising Committee did in putting together such a brilliant night of entertainment on Saturday at the annual Rose Road Crystal Ball - Each and everyone of you deserves an Oscar!!

Everything was just so professional, slick and glitzy.....true Hollywood style. From the food, raffle, auction and the fabulous live band I just could not fault with anything during the whole evening and early morning!

All the long hours and hard work that was most clearly put into this event will be so worth it by the many thousands of pounds raised to benefit the children, young people and their families who use Rose Road.

Everyone involved in organising the Crystal Ball should be justly proud of themselves and will have enhanced the ever growing positive reputation of the Association

I can't wait for the 2011 crystal Ball.....

Just wanted to end the week with a massive thank you to you all for the fab event you put on for us The Piam Brown Ward and Help 4 Heroes at the De Vere last Saturday. All the attendees from Piam Brown much enjoyed the occasion and thought you had all done a fantastic job.

Many thanks from us all for all your hard work, long hours and sheer enthusiasm for your task in hand. I do hope you will feel duly rewarded for your mammoth efforts when the final total raised becomes clear and we shall look forward to welcoming you back to the ward for the cheque presentation in due course.

Well done and thank you so very much. It was a pleasure and privilege to be so well looked after by you, Shirley and Charlotte, and your amazing team at Venue Smart.

Hope you can take a breather now before the next wave comes rolling towards you!

Best wishes from everyone on PB

"Using Venue Smart was really easy. The venue I required needed to be close to Winchester, hold 80 delegates and at one month's notice. 'I don't think so' would have been the response from some but not Lauren!! Nothing was too much trouble, Lauren was very determined that she would find me exactly what I wanted - and she did!!"
