It's time to celebrate saying goodbye to 2025 with, opshop outfits, beaches and Perth in the greatest way possible:
BEACH BALL!
We'll be meeting in the same place as last time- just north of Clancy's at City Beach! As far as you can walk till you hit the dunes ... look for the ball gowns.
GROUND RULES:
Please DO:
*Bring a picnic rug! Why not set up a nice little rug with your Beau/hot date/friends and snack upon little delicacies as the sun goes down?
*Dress up awesomely in your best/worst tuxedo/ball gown! This is a great time to wear that amazing jacket that you bought in the op shop that never quite fitted but looks great! Please bear in mind that you will want to wear it in the ocean, so stay away from family heirlooms!
*Tell your nice friends! Why not share the beach ball love with those friends of yours who you know will love the fantastic party that is Beach Ball!
*Bring a Camera! Your Aunt Cathy will want to see a pic of you, on your picnic rug, in your awesome tuxedo, with your nice friends!
Please DON'T:
*Bring Alcohol. The last thing we want is for Beach Ball to be shut down by the fun police. That won't happen if we aren't street drinking.
*Bring Glassware. Barefeet parties on the beach and smashed glass don't mix.
*Tell your nasty friends. Come to think of it, why would you? Why are you even friends with them? Make some new friends at Beach Ball!
*Not have a great time. We need you to have a great time!
See you all at BEACH BALL!
_______________________________________________
Summertime, and Christmas time. Time for stifling heat and family drama. Time for overeating and flies. Time for depression and possible criminal charges.
Not for us down at City Beach, my friends.
Dust off your best (worst) old prom dress or tuxedo, and come down to the City Beach for Beach Ball from 6pm.
There will be dancing and swimming in our fancy gear. No limos, corsages, lost virginities or any other cliches necessary - but swimming in your dress / suit is!
** Beach Ball Committee
Ofa, Tim, Arielle, Wyatt and Bonnie
A group for people who love beaches and or balls or both.
