White Tie and Diamonds Ball
At
The Garden Room
Tennants, Leyburn
We are delighted to announce that our White Tie and Diamonds Ball tickets are officially on sale priced at £60 each. For this you will get a delicious 3 course meal, entertainment and dancing to a live band, all in the fantastic setting of the Garden Rooms at Tennants, Leyburn.
For anyone who is interested in buying tickets, please email us at wendyswish2017@gmail.com to say how many tickets you require.
Ideally, we would like to sell tickets in groups of 10 but we can also cater for people only wanting a smaller number of tickets. We will then group these together to make tables of 10. We do have the option of a few tables that will seat 12-14 guests, should anyone have a group larger than 10.
We would also like to clarify that we are not expecting the men to wear the formal White Tie dress code of tails, although of course you are welcome to if that is your preferred choice, but we expect most men will choose a dinner jacket. The main thing is to enjoy yourselves - and bring your dancing shoes!
This is being organised by members of NCS, which is a government funded project that helps young teens to develop skills that will benefit them later on in life. For the third phase of the project they are planning a community action project and they are raising money for Wendy's Wish. To raise money and awareness for the charity they are going to be hosting a Grease themed Summer Féte in the lower floor of Northallerton Town Hall from 9:00 am untill 2:00pm on the 31st of July. We are very grateful and we hope they get lots of support.
In March Wendy's wonderful nephew and niece, Harry and Isla, spent the afternoon selling lemonade outside their mum, Cara's, office at East Tennessee State University. The students were very generous and fully supported the event. As a result, Harry and Isla raised the superb sum of $60. Well done Harry and Isla - you are superstars and we are very proud of you.

The riders set out from Loughton in North London on Sunday 30th July. Dave has an allocated start time of 07:30.

We said a huge thank you to Mrs Cox, Mrs Harris, Lily Adair and all the students in Form ACX for the raffle they held at Northallerton Sixth Form College, which raised the fabulous sum of £100. Wendy was a student at the college from 1993-1997, a time she thoroughly enjoyed, and it's great that the current staff and students are giving us their support.
