Buy tickets now for the OC Ball

It is with great pleasure that I am able to offer you an exclusive booking period for the first Old Cranleighan Charity Ball.

The OC Society kindly invited me to Chair this year's OC Society dinner at the East India Club. With the support of John McDermott, Nick Read and Martin Williamson we approached the Society with a view to changing the format of the event. The Society has agreed to sponsor a Ball with the specific aim of raising money for charity and so replaces this year’s usual Society dinner.

One of the deserved charities that will benefit is the OC War Memorial - or better known to you as the Cranleigh School cricket pavilion. It is in much need of restoration and development and combined with help from the school it is our intention to return it to its original state as a first class pavilion.
I would like your help at an evening to remember.

We have exclusively booked Madame Tussauds in London for a black tie dinner / dance and have secured some famous acts for the evening’s entertainment including Heather Small and Tony Hadley. The venue is extraordinary and unchallenged as a private party spectacle.

Tickets go on general release on May 4 and there are already a number of OC corporate sponsors who wish to make bulk bookings given the potential media coverage and so we have decided to provide the OCCC with the exclusive opportunity of purchasing tickets ahead of open sales to the OC Society. No other club is being afforded this opportunity, as I do not believe that the cause affects them so much or has given them so much pleasure over the years.

Tickets are priced at only £89 each but we would ask you to bring your partner, as it is a dance. John McDermott feels that occasions for the OCCC family to come together are all too rare and clearly the Ball will be such an event. The price includes a terrific meal with celebrities such as Kylie Minogue, Tony Blair and Robbie Williams, all wines and entertainments. The Pope will also be making an appearance as will John Mac in the Chamber of Horrors. The places are genuinely limited and even though this will remain an exclusively OC + partners event, I don’t want to see OCCC members on a waiting list as happened for the last dinner.

We are offering hotel packages, including Spa treatments, at preferential rates for those of you who would like to make a weekend of it. Table sponsorship opportunities with added bonuses are also available and I encourage you to make this personalised contribution.
I hope that you will be able to support this one off event and once again prove to the OC Society at large the important role the OCCC plays in leading its community.
