Masquerade Ball 2021
Building Renovation Fundraiser for Riverlea Theatre, Hillcrest, Hamilton.
Our annual Masquerade Ball on Saturday the 21st of August, 2021 at 7.30pm is a key fundraiser to help towards the rebuild of the theatre.
This will be a fabulous evening which features “The Malcolm Barr Big Band” to dance to, and some other fun events throughout the evening to keep you entertained.
There will be Auctions, Quick Fire Raffles and Spot Prizes for the Best Dressed Male and Female, Best Mask, Best Dancer, Best Handmade Mask and Most Unique Mask.
There will be a photographer taking photos of your amazing attire. (Please note that if you don't want your photo used for future advertising, please let us know)
You can purchase a photo for a fee, which also goes towards making this Building Renovation a reality.
There will be a light supper, catered for by CaterPlus.
The Bar will be open and while it is only public prices on the night (no club pricing that night) we all know our public prices are extremely reasonable compared to other venues.
Tickets are $60 each and are available through iTicket at the below link:

It would be great if you could come along or pass this invitation on to someone that would like to come.
Hope to see you there!

Poll: Do you think an age check is required for these drinks?
Stores are checking IDs for fancy soft drinks and not everyone is happy about it.
One shopper, who asked not to be named, bought some zero alcohol branded drinks at his local supermarket and was asked to “step around into the thoroughfare so a supervisor could see me and make sure I was over 18. I couldn't believe it."
Do you think an age check is required for these drinks? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
