What a brilliant night! Had a great time at the Ball, thanks very much to all the organisers.

Was good to meet more people and see familiar faces again

I have no doubt KAES will be having another table next year

It was so good to (finally!) meet so many people that I should have met a long, long time ago. Too many to list here, but hopefully I got round to everyone?

Thanks to Paul, Lorri, Bob & DJ Shambles for all your hard work and effort organising the event

Where do we sign for next year?

Good to meet you at last Dom

Give it to your brother

Big thanks to the team, Sham, Lorri, Paul, Rakey , Paul and Andy for their hard work and efforts over the last few months - it really does take a lot of time and effort so well done guys Also to the poor suffering other halves who not only put up but also get stuck in and help out

And special thanks to everyone who donated and/or bid so generously, to those who helped on the day with raffle tickets and the likes and to our sponsors., and to those who had to travel so far to get here - top people!

I always have a head that feels like hell the morning after the Ball but at the same time feel great having spent an evening with so many great people from a wonderful community

Thanks folks

Thanks to you too Bob for liaising with the Marriott and generally keeping us all going in the right direction Have a great holiday
Big thanks to Sham & Herbie for sorting the music & the equipment Paul L, it was great having you on board this year and I think despite the sleepless nights and constant emailing etc it was all worth it

I echo what Bob said and thank you all for coming and being so generous..... ok Ali you sold the most tickets

Big congratulations to Nibs & Debs... how lovely

Fantastic weekend with fantastic people and those who didn't make it missed a brilliant weekend. Hope to see you all next year

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to all that organised the ball, we all had a great time (as we knew we would) and are quite sad that it's all over for another year. Bring on the Ball 2009!!

Sitting on our table were two people (one being myself) who have benefitted from Make a Wish and they really can bring children some light relief at difficult times. I was able to meet Jason Donovan back stage of Joseph (yes I know, but I was only 9!!) and Andrew was given a piano, so your money really has gone to a very special cause.

Oh and next time Soggy, PLEASE can you auction ALL the cuckoo clocks you have - we were willing to pay big bucks, both this year and last!!

Thanks again!!

I'll second that Elaine, it was great to be part of such a great fundraising event. Make a wish is a brilliant charity to support
