Love 'em or hate 'em?
It's that season ... Halloween Balls, Winters Balls, Mistletoe Balls, New Years Eve Balls, Burns Night Balls, Charity Balls, etc ...
Can't wait to dig out the LBD and see the guys in dinner suits?
Or hate all the formality and ceremony?

Actually, I think the people who get to go to most Balls are ... parents! If nothing else, you can always rely on Parents' Associations to organise the school ball each year. Which is a good reason for staying friendly with people with kids, for when they are "getting a table up" each year.

Well I don't do the school yard, cos I don't have any rug rats ... but that's usually the Parents' Associations big annual fund raiser, no?
Hire a tent, band, caterers ... sell tickets to the parents and their friends, have a raffle, and an auction (auction items kindly donated), game of tops and tails, licensed bar which shares the profit with the Parents' Association, all the kids make things at school which their own parents buy on the night, etc, etc, etc ...

B00 ... you should start planning now for a Summer Ball next year. You will be the heroic mum who raises loads of money, which the Parents' Association gives to the school for new sports equipment, or whatever the school needs.
My fee for the idea is quite modest.

But ... schools always need money ... and the parents need an excuse to let their hair down ...
At the school where my closest "parent" friends sent their daughter, a lot of the sports facilities were paid for by he annual Summer Ball. Parents from ten school years (from Kindergarten up to Junior 4), plus all their friends and hangers on, like me ...
They get about 150-200 people every year. They raise loads of money for the school.
