Celebrate Ostara withthird fundraising Ball
If you are feeling a little flat after the Festive period – don’t put away your party frock or DJ just yet, put the date 28th February in your diary as something to look forward to through the dark days of January. Ostara is one of the names applied to the celebration of the spring equinox bringing renewal and rebirth after the death of winter. Now is a perfect time to get your ticket to the Ball and celebrate spring awakening.
Ball Organiser, Deborah Johnston, said: “Tickets for this year’s event are selling fast and I would advise people to contact me as soon as possible to book theirs as this year’s Ostara Ball promises to be a great success.’
