whisperings and the champagne and the stars.”

Put on your party shoes as, for one night only, the school grounds will be host to a
night of delicious food, live music and dancing.
On arrival you can get straight into the roaring ’20s party mood with a glass of bubbly and the soulful sounds of singer Jaime Franses.
This year’s caterers are White Pepper, who will be serving a delicious seasonal 3 course meal and after dinner port. Pre-orders will be taken for wine and there will also be a cash bar on the night.
Then when you’re ready to hit the dance floor The Rat Pack will be playing a selection of big band tunes, perfect for a big night out. Tickets are limited to 250 and will be on sale from Monday, 16th
March at £75. Tickets are not restricted to Dumpton parents, so please do feel free to invite your friends and family. Seating will be arranged at tables of 10. To book your table, please can your table host complete the attached booking form with the names of all guests and menu options and return to the FODS box at the front desk with full monies, payable by cheque, to The Friends of Dumpton, in an envelope marked ‘Great Gatsby Ball’. If you are not booking a full table we will be happy to coordinate seating on your behalf.
All proceeds from the night will be donated to the Youth Cancer Trust, so please come and share your support for this worthwhile charity. It’s going to be a wonderful evening and we look forward to seeing you there.
