Candlelighters Ball at the Royal Armouries

Saturday 24 September was the night of the charity ball at the Royal Armouries museum in Leeds. The whole family went, all dressed up, together with friends Natalie and Georgina from along the terrace. Each year, Pronuptia offers a number of children, of different ages, a free ballgown for the night - that they get to keep.
Maddy was identified by the hospital staff as the teenage representative - one of the pictures below shows the three lucky girls, including Maddy.
It was a pretty posh affair as evidenced by the stretch-limo traffic jam, as guests arrived around 7pm. The Yates entourage didn't indulge to that extent, but it did prompt the question for next year.
It was a great night with good food, company, music, dancing and games, but the highlight, by consensus was the chocoalate fountain (as seen recently on the Vicar of Dibley - although nobody stuck their head in this one...!).
Here are some pics of the night....:








Sorry for the delay in getting these out to you - been meaning to for a while, but life gets in the way sometimes...
