Photos from the Hunter Rescue Ball in Newcastle

It is one of the most glamorous nights of the year in Newcastle and a vital fundraiser for a lifesaving rescue service in the region, and this year, it marked 50 years of serving the Hunter. The Hunter Rescue Ball, which celebrates and raises funds for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter service, was held at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre on Friday evening. The theme: Black tie with a touch of gold. A plate: $250. The scene: glamour. Celebrity emcee David Campbell led the proceedings after guests were greeted by the extravagant flair of Bizarre Haus Entertainment performers on stilts, as "living roses", and served by label owner Ashleigh Kedwell in her signature champagne skirt. The evening was dripping with style. At the edges of the crowd, as the glitterati mingled into the space, artists Eira Chidgey and Melanie Norman were by the original works they had donated to the event, among a host of other items and goods to be auctioned off during the evening in support of the rescue service. Funds raised by the event were funnelled back to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter in their entirety. The Newcastle Herald was listed as an event partner. The details of this report are developing.
