| St Andrew's School Summer Ball | Thu 11th October 2007 |
A large marquee in the grounds of Hail Weston House was the beautiful venue for the St Andrew's Summer Ball in June 2007, when 110 people danced the night away after being fed with a super Hog Roast.
Commented the Headmistress Mrs Jean Marsland, “All this was due to the generosity of Tensor plc, who had offered to the school, a year ago, to host the Ball, as part of the School's Development Fund Raising efforts”.
The Development Fund, set up three years ago, raises money to support future development plans of the school. So far over £24,000 has been raised which helped pay for a modern ICT suite in the Junior School. The fund is now targeting to raise £30,000 to enable a complete refurbishment of the science laboratory.
Despite weather that had all the characteristics of an Asian monsoon, everyone had a really great time, dancing to a jazz band and a top line disco. The guests were treated to a superb firework display that surprised and astonished everyone, even though being watched from under umbrellas!
Chairman of the Governors, Ken Sanders, said during the event, in thanking the directors of Tensor plc “We are not just thanking Tensor for the use of this lovely venue, but also for the time and hard work their staff put into helping to make this event so successful, and thereby give our Development Fund such a boost!”
