Friday Restaurant Night at the Mercure

As has happened on previous years there will again be a dinner held at the Mercure Hotel at 7pm on the Friday night before the Ball. This gives the guests who have traveled from all over the state and interstate to get to meet each other and for "first timers" as there are always some at our ball, to get rid of the inevitable "first time out nerves" and so help them enjoy the Ball even more. In past years up to 40 guests have attended these dinners so you will have plenty of company.
