The Fire Industry Charity Ball
was held at The Oxfordshire
Golf Club and Spa on the
evening of Friday 29th
September 2017.
The event was held in
partnership with the Fire
Protection Association (FPA)
and the Fire IndustryAssociation
(FIA) and Hosted by Ian Moore
(CEO FIA).
The venue was perfectly
positioned in the rolling hills
of the Chilterns. It has been
home to prestigious events on
the European Tour. A change
from our normal evening at the
Portman Hotel in London.
The evening was perfect tomeet
old friends with some great food
drink and entertainment.
An Auction was made for a
genuine Beatles picture that
was taken at a quickly gathered
photo shoot by photographer
Tom Hanley (Father of
Liveryman Tony Hanley). The
auction was very competitive
and the last two guests to
go head to head were Roy
Woolford and David Murfitt who
together raised £580 for the
Charitable Trust.
TringPark School for the
Performing Arts provides an
environment which allows for
a fusion of natural talent and
creativity combined with fine
teaching and training.
All this performing, training and
learning requires a great deal
of dedication and commitment
from both staff and pupils
and this creates a stimulating
environment within a supportive
community.
The Singers went through a
number of memorable songs
from Broadway and their
professionalism was very
apparent.
Johnny & The Zephyrs were
the band for the evening and
have been entertaining people
with chunky Rock n Roll from
artists such as Elvis Presley,
Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and
many more for over 30 years.
This evening was no exception.
