Let the ball roll

Finally, although it snowed this week, the summer ball season is rolling ever closer

Finally, although it snowed this week, the summer ball season is rolling ever closer. On May 14th, the Friends of St Patrick's Hospital are holding a formal ball at the Royal Hospital to raise funds for a new brain scanner. Committee members include Hilary Wilson Wright, Jane Falloon and designer Ib Jorgensen.

Tickets for the champagne reception, a five-course meal, and dancing afterwards - digestion allowing - to the Paddy Cole Band, are £100 each. They are available through the Friends Office at St Patrick's Hospital.
