TRUST PA TULIP BALL 2010
Ball pictures available bottom of the page

On Saturday 17th April 2010 at The Marriott Cardiff where we were pleased to hold our latest splendid Trust PA Tulip Charity Ball.  Our guests arrived well attired in black tie and evening dress ready to experience another evening of merriment. The fun started with a drinks reception where guests mingled meeting friends and viewing the lists of prizes for the raffle, Silent & Live Auctions while starting to consider place their bids or having their photo taken by our event photographer - Philip Edwards of Studio 87. Guests were summoned to take their seats by our accomplished Host BBC TV Presenter Ms Andrea Benfield who introduced the evening and a brief charity review was shared by Charity Trustee Stephen Blundell.

A key point of the evening at this stage was our annual major public donation to help fund the process of converting and testing ground breaking laboratory science into real treatments for the repair of spinal cord injury paralysis. The cheque was presented by Trustee Dr Longstaffe and gratefully received on behalf of Spinal Research by CEO Jonathan Miall.  A delicious three course meal followed, which was expertly rounded off by our auctioneer  BBC TV Presenter Branwen Gwynn who did a splendid job and bidding was brisk for the excellent range of unique & valuable items on offer.  
The raffle was drawn by our Host Andrea Benfield along with Branwen and the prizes were distributed to the winners with the help of our volunteers.The evening entertainment continued with songs from well known Cardiff singer/songwriter, Heather Jones with her Band who professionally entertaining everyone through coffee. The time passed quickly into the small hours dancing to the excellent sounds of TONIC.
Everyone had a great time.
