Sneak Peek of Manning Valley Community Event "THE DIGGERS BALL"
Wingham Remembers! One hundred years after the end of WW1, the Manning Valley Historical Society is organising a special “Commemorative Diggers Ball” to be held at the Wingham Memorial Town Hall on Saturday 29thSeptember, 2018. Proudly supported by the Wingham RSL Sub Branch, the Ball will honour all Australia’s Defence and Peace-Keeping Service men and women up to the present times.
The Town Hall was funded by the community and officially opened on April 2nd 1924. An annual Diggers Ball was held from then on until the late 1950s. The 2018 Diggers Ball will be the first Diggers Ball to be held since that time.
A committee has been established to organise the event which will feature music, dancing and entertainment, reflecting a century of changing times. It will be a very special community event for adults of all ages. “Whether you dance or not, come along and enjoy watching the spectacle. You will not be disappointed,” said committee Chair, Mave Richardson. “This is all about our communities of Wingham and the Upper Manning coming together to pay tribute to those who have gone before, and those who are still out there, protecting democracy,” she added.
Plans include involving local children, young people and community organisations. The committee would welcome volunteers who would like to help out. If you wish to volunteer, phone Mave on 6553 5412.
Tickets are $40 per person with supper and entertainment provided, BYO drinks!!!
Frock up in a ball gown or suit from any era, but dress to impress!
