SACKFULS of presents and more than £5,000 was raised for charity at the annual Snow Ball in Balsall Common.
The annual event, hosted at Nailcote Hall Hotel Golf and Country Club saw 220 guests come together to help boost coffers at the Salvation Army to help disadvantaged children in the area on Christmas Day.
Hotelier Sue Cressman said: “The Snow Ball starts all of our Christmas Party Nights at Nailcote Hall. We have produced this event for 20 years and it goes from strength to strength. We are grateful to our sponsors Bidfood Food Service who, without their kind donation, we would not be able to present the top class entertainment we have each year.”
“This year there was a bumper amount of toys and gifts donated with a room filled with presents. I am so very grateful to all that attended this very special event.”
Helping to create the event’s festive atmosphere were The Salvation Army Band plus ‘special’ guests, Santa – ably assisted by Mrs Claus, Fairies, and The Elf on the Shelf.
A festive three-course meal was followed by performance courtesy of Britain’s Got Talent finalist Pippa Langhorne and the night ended with an auction, raffle and dancing to The Soundations, before Nailcote Hall’s resident DJ Franco wrapped up the evening’s entertainment.
