We're delighted to invite you to St. Hugh's Summer Ball, taking place this year on Saturday 6th July at Bowdon Rugby Club.
​
We hope you'll be able to join us for a night of food, drink, live entertainment and dancing to raise money for our primary school. Our fundraising focus this year is on overhauling the maths resources. We would like to provide every single child at St. Hugh's with the very latest in maths education, providing children with the opportunity to improve their learning at school.
​
There will be a glass of fizz on arrival, and a delicious three course meal.
​
Mike Toolan from Hits Radio will be our host guiding us through a night of entertainment which includes the chance to win some fantastic prizes during our raffle and live auction, AND a live band to take us into the small hours!
Every single penny raised on the night will go to St. Hugh's and will be used to overhaul the maths resources at school, meaning every pupil will benefit.
We hope you'll be able to join us on what promises to be a special night x
