The Bling Fling is Back – Lets Party!
The Bling Fling Committee are delighted to announce we have some exciting news!
Although the committee hoped to hosted this event in April 2021, we have decided to move it forward 12 months to April 2022. By this Point, we hope that we will be free to party without having to enforce any covid restrictions.
Get your glam frocks at the ready, ladies, as we plan to simply party and indeed celebrate. The new date for your diary is Friday 29th April 2022. We are happy to honour the original price per ticket, £50, and the venue remains the same. Please note that all the tables and tickets already paid for will be valid for The Bling Fling 2022. Would you mind informing all the ladies you have attending of this update?
As you know, charities have been particularly hit hard over this year; Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice has no exception. For that reason, the committee would like to take this opportunity to express our immense gratitude for not only bearing with us throughout this pandemic but also for your continued support.
We are already looking forward to being able to get together once again.
If you require any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact any committee members or email steph@crowther.accountants
Best Wishes
The Bling Fling Committee

A letter from The Bling Fling Committee
In light of the outbreak of coronavirus and the Government’s advice about social distancing, we have taken the difficult but appropriate decision to postpone our Vintage Bling Fling event, which as you are aware was due to be held on Friday 13th November 2020.
We are incredibly disappointed that again the event cannot proceed. However, our first priority is to protect our guests and the staff at the venue and so we have postponed the event until Friday 23rd April 2021. Your ticket(s) will, of course, still be valid for the new date, and we sincerely hope that you will still be able to join us. The Vintage theme will remain the same and the event will be bigger and better than before!Disruption to this and other events that support Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice is having a huge impact on their ability to raise the funds they need to provide vital support to local children and families. This comes at a time when those families need that support more than ever. Forget Me Not launched their Urgent Appeal this week, asking for donations to help them survive this national crisis.As you will appreciate Bling Fling raises a magnificent sum each year for Forget Me Not and we hope, with your help, to continue with this successful event early in November as they really need our support.Should anyone on your table be unable to attend the event, a refund is available.We kindly ask for administration purposes, you consolidate all your refund requests, allowing us to process this a table at a time. Alternatively please resell any available spaces or the price of the ticket can be donated to the hospice – please contact steph@crowther.accountants for refund queries (please do not contact Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice directly)Thank you for understanding and please look after yourself and your family.Take care & best wishes from everyone on the Bling Fling committee.
