Ssshhhh…..there’s been a whisper that there may be a pre party

The pre party before the party and the after parties and the after the after parties parties…

And it’s TRUE!!!

Yep….Thursday 7th January if you’re a Gold Pass holder then you’re invited! Come along to the Holiday Inn (rooms are available if you want to stay the extra night) and have a little dance with Sam and Natalie at this relaxed evening. 7.00 pm onwards.
