So now all that is out te way, lets get to the subject at hand and explain the picture to the left.
RiPA, in cooperation with Wilen Hospice, presents 'The Charity Halloween Ball'. It has took alot of planning to get it this far but now the last piece of the jigsaw is in place and we're ready to present the public with this spooktacular event.
It is set to take place on Fri 22nd October. This free's up the Halloween weekend for all you people out there who want to spend it in an alleged haunted location.
The Charity Halloween Ball is in aid of Willen Hospice.
Some RiPA's have had personal dealings with Willen hence the reason for this event. RiPA would like to put something back into a charity that helps so many including RiPA's and their friends and family.

So, on with the ball. The event will start at 20:00 with doors opening at 19:00. There will be a Disco to introduce the night then the stage will be overtaken by a live band to keep you guys entertained throughout the night. What is the name of the band? None other than the good looking guys of O'Casan.
O'Casan have extensive experience professionally as performers from a variety of backgrounds - experience includes support slots with: Snow Patrol - Zero 7 - The Wombats - Echo and the Bunnymen - Terrorvision - The Enemy - The Stranglers and many more.
RiPA are honored to have these guys play for them at this event and the boys are no strangers to playing for big name clients. The following is a brief list of just some of the companies they have performed for: Marks And Spencers - Natwest - Churchill Insurance - BMW - Healthspan - Jersey Round Table - Mercedes Benz - Walkabout - Pitcher & Piano - Royal Bank Of Scotland PLC - Sainsbury - Pizza Express and now they can add RiPA and Willen to that list.
Thats not all. Also performing throughout the night is one of our very own!
Thats right, RiPA Chris Richards will be wowing the crowd with his spectacular acts of mind magic and mentalism as well as a metal bending routine that'll have Uri Geller watching his back.
Chris, also known throughout Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire as 'Magic Chris' has performed for and comes recommended by many Milton Keynes bars, clubs and high end establishments, and is never far away from the eye of the excitement. He has been entertaining for over 15 years and has an endless wealth of knowledge in not only close up magic, but a variety of performance types from hypnosis to acting.What tricks has he got up his sleeves for the Halloween Ball?
Only he knows, but you can be sure you will be amazed by his repertoire.
Chris will be performing in between the band sets so the nights entertainment will keep on flowing.
He will also be working the floor with some of his special close up magic.
