On Saturday the GSPCA not only celebrated 142 years helping animals in Guernsey, but we also had a special night at the St Pierre Park Hotel.

Sidney's Sponsored Events held a 1920's St. Valentine's Day Mafia Ball to raise funds for the GSPCA and to help animals in Guernsey.

Gangster's and Moll's started arriving just after 6pm and soon the main bar was like a scene from a 1920's movie.  

As the many supporters made their way through to the room where the Ball took place at the St Pierre Park Hotel groups and couples took advantage of a photo opportunity in front of a themed area.

The tables were decorated and each had a number of raffles and scratch cards helping raise additional funds for the GSPCA.

To start the evening off the guests enjoyed shows, dancing and songs from the wonderful Vanessa of Danceography, Diane Piper and the Burlesque ladies and Lydia Jane Pugh.

The 1920's evening three course meal was then served and later an auction held, many thanks given and to finish the evening The Bandits entertained the crowd who filled the dance floor. 

Corinne Connolly from Sidney's Sponsored Events said "A big thank you to Vanessa of Danceography and Diane Piper and the Burlesque ladies for their entertainment at the GSPCA Ball on Saturday night."

"We really appreciate your hard work and constant support at our events."

"Lydia Jane Pugh again thank you so much for interrupting your valentines evening and serenading us 1920s style."

"Finally a thank you to my dear friends who gave up their time to set up, clear away and carry things to the car."

"What stars they are. I hope we can approach you all again for a future event."

"Massive thanks to all from Sidney and me."

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "What an amazing night we all had on Saturday at the 1920's St. Valentine's Day Mafia Ball organised by Sidney's Sponsored Events."

"We are hugely thankful to everyone involved, donated, danced, sung, served and help support this wonderful event raising funds for the GSPCA on what was our 142nd anniversary."

"For a small donation if anyone would like copies of any of the pictures from the evening please do let us know."

"Thank you to Corinne, all her friends and everyone involved from all of us and especially the animals at the GSPCA."

"Not only is it our 142nd year, we also have our multi purpose animal welfare building being built which will replace 5 of our older structures and every penny really does make a huge difference."

"It is a huge year at the GSPCA and to find out about our other events and how to raise funds for the GSPCA please visit our web page www.gspca.org.gg/fundraising."

The final figure is still being finialised and we will let you know very soon.
