Deeping Summer Ball - Final Update and Thank You 🎪
Dear all,
We would like to confirm that all guest refunds have now been processed in full and all suppliers have been informed.
We’re deeply grateful to those who supported the event throughout its planning stages, whether through time, resources, or generosity. A heartfelt thank you goes to:
- David Wilson (Every Occasion Marquees)
- Clark Catering of Hanthorpe and her team
- Alan Jackson, our Master of Ceremonies
- Groove Cartell, our band
- Well Laid Table Hire Service, for the linen
- DJ Reggae Roots
- The Square (Market Deeping), for running the bar
- Mixologists from Nottingham and our bar manager
- Eddie and our security team
- Dementia Support South Lincs, for their incredible fundraising efforts
We also extend our thanks to all of our sponsors, including those who chose to remain anonymous, and especially:
- Hegarty of Market Deeping
- Buckles Law of Stamford
- The Square Pub
- Deeping Carpets
- Europress Print
All sponsorship donations have now been returned in full.
We are incredibly appreciative that many of our suppliers allowed us to proceed without upfront costs, and that no deposits were required. Despite our best efforts, the event could not go ahead due to low ticket sales. All money from ticket sales and sponsorships have been refunded, though a number of essential expenses for materials, promotion and logistics have already been paid for during planning. As a result, no profit was made, and a small shortfall remains.
We’d also like to thank Harry for handling all the marketing, website, design work and IT behind the scenes, including posters, banners, tickets and online promotion.
It’s a shame that this year’s Summer Ball will not be going ahead. Sadly, without sufficient ticket sales, it simply wasn’t viable to proceed.
Thank you again to everyone who supported and contributed to the event planning.
Warm regards,
Sharon Roberts
on behalf of the Deeping Summer Ball Team
