TAS Gala Ball was a huge success
The “must attend” event of the year – the TAS Black Tie Gala Ball – was held on Saturday 26th October, 2019 at the Pullman International Hotel.
This year’s theme was ‘reach for the stars’ and included entertainment from the string quartet and the Tall Poppies, a wonderful night was had by all.
Thank you to the TAS P&F Association for putting on such a fantastic event for the TAS community.
