Welcome to the Circus!
Roll up, Roll Up! The 2009 NCASS Newcastle Annual Dinner was another resounding success. This year the Civic Centre was transformed into a magical big hat with circus inspired performers and decoration. Guests were welcomed by fire breathers and were kept entertained through out the evening by a lively troop of jugglers, stilt walkers, balloon artists and magicians!
However, the event also had a more serious purpose and we are delighted to announce that guests raised over £950 for local charity Grace House. Funds were raised through a Heads and Tails game and raffle with prizes donated by a number of firms and local businesses.
NCASS Chair Gemma Rigby reported: “It was great to see so many guests at the dinner especially in these difficult economic times. We were delighted that the event was so well supported by firms and we would like to say a big thank you to all of those who gave generously in aid of Grace House.”
Over 215 guests attended the dinner from a range of firms across the region. The Teesside Annual Dinner is scheduled for 8th May 2009. Detail to follow.
