To allow young people receiving their Gold Award to further celebrate their achievements with their friends and family, we’d like to invite you to the Gold Award Celebration Charity Dinner and Ceilidh. This will be held on the evening of the presentation on Wednesday 1 July 2009 at Pollock Halls in Edinburgh.

Tickets are £38 per person and include a 3 course meal and ceilidh. Price includes 4 bottles of wine per table, with 10 people on each table. Doors will open at 6pm for a 6:30 start. Tickets are selling fast so to avoid disappointment please book asap.

Guests will be given the chance to win prizes as part of a fundraising raffle, proceeds of which will go towards ensuring that young people of every background can take part in the DofE, regardless of any barriers. All funds raised on the evening will help us continue our Charity’s work.

There will also be a professional photographer present with the opportunity to purchase photographs after the event. Ample parking will be available during the ceilidh, as well as there being a taxi rank and telephone available to book taxis.
