Waihi Beach Op Shop Ball 2012

The  2012 Op Shop Ball held at the Waihi Beach Community Centre with a medieval theme was a great success. Over 400 folk tuned up in their finest medieval outfits/frocks and a good time was had by all.

The Tim Armstrong band had the crowd on the dance floor most of the night and entertained until the the wee hours.

Costumes were many and varied - many were home made or added to after the original was purchased from an op shop or from costume hire outlets. We had nuns, Fiar Tuck, Lords and Ladies, priests and bishops,knights and princesses, court jesters, serfs and much more.

Thanks should go to Niria Gerbich and her 2012 Op Shop Ball committee for their sterling creative work in putting on such a wonderful event for the community.
