“The Sky’s The Limit” at this year’s Police Charity Ball which will be held at Kingaroy Town Hall on May 21.<\/p>\n

Local police and the Kingaroy Rotary Club will be repeating their 2014 joint effort which raised more than $30,000 for charity.<\/p>\n

This time around, all profits will be given to the RACQ CareFlight Helicopter rescue service.<\/p>\n

Sergeant Wayne Bushell, one of the main organisers, said the night would kick off about 6:00pm and run “until late”.<\/p>\n

Entertainment will be provided by the Redtie Band.<\/p>\n

Tickets are $100pp or $900 for a table of ten.<\/p>\n

They will go on sale at the Kingaroy Police Station (the old Artie Kerr Building) in Kingaroy Street on March 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A three-course meal will be prepared by Eddie McGregor, from the Burke and Wills Motel, and Wayne Bushell – the two chefs who catered for the last very successful evening.<\/p>\n

There will be auctions and raffles on the night.<\/p>\n

Amongst the items to be auctioned will be a five-course degustation dinner, with matching wines, prepared by Eddie and Wayne.<\/p>\n

Also donated are items from Triple Eight Race Engineering (the V8 Supercars team that includes drivers Jamie Whincup, Craig Lowndes and Shane Van Gisbergen).<\/p>\n

Other sponsors that have come on board so far to support the dinner include Stanwell, Swickers, Bryant (the company building the new Kingaroy Police Station), the Burke & Wills Motel, Loot Homewares Kingaroy, B & L Signs, Wickham Freight Lines, the South Burnett Times and South Burnett Online.<\/p>\n

Anyone interested in contributing items for the auction or raffle, should contact Sgt Bushell at the Kingaroy Police Station or Kingaroy Rotary president Val Hooper.<\/p>\n
