Country Meets City at the Autumn Shorn Charity Ball

Last weekend saw the 25^th birthday celebrations of the Red Kite Autumn Shorn charity ball. The ball, designed to raise money for families with children touched by cancer, began in a woolshed 25 years ago at Mullaley, NSW. The latest ball took place in Sydney at Doltone House, Pyrmont, and a fabulous night was had by all.

Many thanks to the committee and sponsors.

Country inspited table decorations - candles resting on blocks of raw wood.

Barbed-wire balls like this were set on stands and strung with fairy lights.

Sounds amazing Alissa, and what a great and worthy cause, glad it raised so much money. Amazing the ripple on effect from a gem of an idea that started in a wool shed :)
ps - I want pics too!!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

Excellent blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Bless you!
