History:

The original Fall Ball was created in 1995 as a less formal alternative to the Playford Ball.  The original committee was Karen Wetmore (later Gryciewicz), David Newitt, Helena Ivatt and Anne Miller-Bagwell.  It was so much fun that some of the original gang are still involved with it.

Here's some of what we've done in the past:
