Poppy Rocks Ball
The event
The 28 October 2017, sees the return of hugely successful The Poppy Rocks Ball raising money for The Royal British Legion for the fifth year. The Poppy Rocks Ball is a fundraising and awareness dinner, dance and auction for 330 people at the prestigious HAC.
Why?
Tri-purpose:
The Poppy Rocks Ball is taking place on Saturday 28 October 2017. This date was chosen because of its proximity to the Poppy Appeal when we remember those who have given their lives in all conflicts since World War I. This year, we will onjce again have another outstanding speaker, the super flattering Foto Noir, Almost Unheard getting us up and dancing as well as DJ Karlton taking us in to the wee small hours!
In 2016 The Poppy Rocks Ball raised £21,719 (£92,618 to date) for The Royal British Legion and in 2017 we are aiming to go bigger and better!
