A Night to Remember!
A fundraising ball for Motivation
We would like to thank everyone who joined us for the Motivation Ball in Bath on 11 th October. You helped us to create a wonderful atmosphere and an unforgettable evening!
With your help we raised over £16,000 on the night of the ball alone, with further substantial donations coming in to Motivation after the event.
We have been overwhelmed with feedback from guests and sponsors, here's a small sample of their comments:
"A quick note to say a big thank you for such a fab ball at the weekend. My party all really enjoyed it. The champagne reception was particularly memorable. What a setting!"
"I quote: "Thank you for last night. It was fantastic". One happy couple."
"Just want to be among the first to offer you congratulations on organising such a splendid function on Saturday night. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and I can't remember having such a delicious piece of lamb on my plate - superb."
"Looking forward to the next one!"

The 2008 Motivation Ball was always intended to be a one-off event. However, since the event we have been overwhelmed with requests for a repeat performance.
Therefore, due to popular demand, we plan to organise a magical Winter Ball at the Roman Baths and Pump Room in February 2010. If you would like to be kept informed about this next exciting event then please contact Motivation UK.
If you would like to support the event by way of sponsorship or donating gifts we would be delighted to hear from you.
