powerBall 2009 rocked...

...to the London Dominion theatre stage show “We Will Rock You” whose West End cast provided the most spectacular cabaret at this year’s event.

ABBA the Concert, the Bogus Brothers and, for that night club feel, Apache Disco, boosted the entertainment for a real flavour of the 1970s, this year’s theme.

Thanks to the support of table hosts, sponsors and donors, who gave to the tombola, stand-up bingo, silent and live auctions and a fabulous raffle, more than £225,000 was raised for the charity.

ABB Power Systems Division said about the event: "We would like to thank EEIBA for such an excellent evening of fine food and fantastic entertainment. We have received many positive comments from our guests who thoroughly enjoyed the evening".

We are taking bookings already for powerBall 2010 on 12 November.
