Promising to be plenty of fun, the evening will also involve an auction of art, wine and accommodation packages.

Descendants of the famous Boyd family will be in attendance, and guests will be entertained by music from ‘Just the Three of Us’ and Rick Brun, whilst enjoying the delicious food and wine offerings.

Regional wineries, artists and businesses have given generously to help make the event a success. It promises to be a fun evening so organise your tickets now.”
