Monday 29th December: Coffee with Jane Woodcock, and a chat to find out about how she organised her Mayor's Ball this year. It was clearly a fundraiser whereas ours will be a Charter birthday party; Jane was raising money for her chosen charity, Rutland4Rutland, or something like that.

She priced tickets at £35 and had donation envelopes, I'm hoping we can keep our ticket price down, and will probably settle with £32. Jane had 90 people comfortably, with a dance band, but commented that Mark's Ball had 120 people also with a dance floor.

So some differences and quite a bit of small detail to be aware of, thanks Jane.
