We, the Social Committee are delighted to give you advance notice of our bi-annual Ball and give you the opportunity to book early. So blow the cobwebs off your dinner suits and get ordering those posh frocks and join in the celebrations.

Once again, we will have *, our photographer, on hand to capture this event so anybody wishing to have their picture taken will be more than welcome. These photographs will be available to buy at a later date.

Check in time2.00 pm (for those staying over)do we need to shift this time. 2pm was our original MM time in case anyone wanted to go for a swim/sauna but everyone just sat in the bar or had lunch! If people do want to have lunch down at Glen Helen first will they still be serving lunch at 2pm…….although that’s not stopping anyone from sitting in the bar still….swings and roundabouts…. Whatever you think. 

We are pleased to announce that, once again, the Executive Committee will be providing a subsidy towards the meal to MEMBERS ONLY who have paid their subs.

We appreciate that money is tight so why not spread the cost? Spreading the cost over the next few months will ensure that you can still join in the celebrations for our Ball.

The Social Committee can arrange a number of savings/payment options for you.

Please see Dean if you are interested in the savings option – so you don’t miss out!

Please complete the booking form, at your earliest convenience, and return it to Dean Callow, at 4 Orry Street, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 1BW.

We have an allocation of rooms already put aside for us; rooms will be booked out on a “first come, first served” basis. Room reservation’s are very limited, so please return your form AND payment as soon as possible!

The Bar will be open upon arrival and throughout the evening, closing at 1.00am.

Those members who are 18 but might not look it will be asked by Glen Helen staff for id. No alcohol will be served to anyone under 18. Under 18s are required to have their form authorised by a parent/guardian.
