The Friends of the Rose Bowl Trustees worked tirelessly to engage with our neighbours, local businesses and friends in aid of the 2019 Annual Auction and Dinner.

We secured excellent prizes for the raffle and auction. Special thanks to Angela Potter for preparing the invitations, catalogue and winning vouchers; Nina Konrad for handling the guest list and slides: Paul O’Donnell and Dawn Brindle for taking payments and reconciling donations. Denise Knight for liaising with Frederick’s staff and welcoming guests. Gordon Geddes and Sylvana Caloni for assisting with the auction and Oswin Baker for leading us and rallying guests to make generous pledges to fund the operations of the Rose Bowl Hub.

One of our long-standing supporters said:

I send huge congratulations to you all. The Rose Bowl dinner was better than ever and that was because you had all organised the evening with such care and precision.

The menu was seriously good and everyone was in such high spirits, all ready to bid enthusiastically.

Congratulations to you all.
