Celebrating 150 Years of Boom Town Ballina
Ballina Chamber of Commerce & Industry Inc and Ballina RSL Club Ltd are proud to bring you a very special event celebrating Ballina’s 150th anniversary. The event will focus attention on Ballina’s rich heritage, raise funds to support a Ballina heritage initiative and help to preserve the things that are unique about our community.
This special birthday celebration also kicks off an “event-full” week that includes the 2006 Melbourne Cup, Remembrance Day and an incredibly exciting 2006 Ballina Rivafest (10, 11 & 12 November) - Ballina Shire's major annual festival.
Gala Dinner
The theme for the night will be based on the ‘1964 Miss Summergirl Competition’, a popular event held at Lighthouse Beach. There will be dancing summer girls, roving lifeguards and many characters from Ballina’s past — just remember to duck when the giant beach balls roll!
“Celebrating 150 Years of Boom Town Ballina!” tickets are $75 per head and include pre- function canapés and champagne/wine/beer on arrival, a three-course meal with your choice of wine, beer or soft drink and a slice of our monster birthday cake!
