The Mossel Bay Titanic ball was by all accounts great fun as shown by the pictures below. As well as having a great time about R9000 was raised for the Sea Rescue station!

ORIGINAL STORY:
An oil painting by well known artist Frans Venter, has been donated to Station 15, Mossel Bay, to auction at their “Titanic” Centenary Ball on Saturday 14th April. The beautiful painting measures about 800mm x 600mm and all funds from the auction will go to the Mossel Bay Sea Rescue station.
TITANIC CENTENARY BALL : Mossel Bay, Saturday 14th April
On 14 April 1912 the TITANIC hit an iceberg at 23h40 and sank 2 hours and 40 minutes later, with the tragic loss of 1514 passengers and crew – a night never to be forgotten in maritime history .
On Saturday 14 April 2012, NSRI Station 15, Mossel Bay, will be hosting a formal Dinner Ball at the ATKV Skoffelskuur in Hartenbos to commemorate this historic event. Dean Bouwer and his Band “Splash” will provide music for this Gala event.
There will be twenty tables, each table seating 10 people.
We ask that you support this fund raising effort by sponsoring a table for R2000 (ten tickets at R200 per person).
All proceeds will go towards the funding of a new rescue boat for Mossel Bay. To book your Boarding Pass contact Dawie Zwiegelaar 082 990 5954.
