The new date for the ball is now Saturday 21 November at the Racecourse. All tickets that have been purchased will be carried over to this event so there will be no need to re-book. Anyone wishing to return their ticket and claim a refund will be able to, details of how to do this will go out on classlist. Athletes, parents and supporters wishing to attend the ball who have not already purchased tickets will be able to purchase tickets from September onwards.
