The main beneficiary is Eddystone, who provide information, training and support for anyone affected by HIV/AIDS and this year’s ball will be raising funds for this worthwhile cause.  

Clarke finished by saying “I would also like to take this opportunity of thanking the Rainbow Ball Committee staff, supporters and friends who give  their time and energy to ensure the evening’s success.  The event has been a triumph over the past six years that we hope it will now become an annual fixture on the Torquay social calendar. With only a few weeks left before the event, plans are on schedule with hopes that it will be an even grander occasion, year after year."

Hey Rob,

Yes, we still have tickets available for the ball. Tickets are for
tables of 10-12, or we can sell individual tickets as well. Just let us know how
many you will need. They can be purchased from any of the outlets in Torquay.

Another great night, thanks to the new committe in place,again lots of money was
raised for the very worthwhile cause. Sean Scannell and Rogue Minogue were both
superb acts. The only let down was Stuart Miles who it has to be said was
dreadful, unfunny both in and out of drag.
Well done to all, see you next year

i know the event was about much more than stuart miles, but he really was
appalling and pityfull. i have seen many brilliant drag artists over the years
that are genuinely tallented. i had taken someone that had never seen a drag
artist live before and he was embarrassingly bad! He was so bad it risked
ruining the evening i'm afraid. he really ought to go and find something that he
has a tallent for, because he does not have a tallent for
"entertaining".
