Lakesiders: remember the ladt time we hosted the ball; at the Wattle Park Lodge; medievel theme; throwing wet sponges at the GM while she was locked up in shackles; jostling and all themed entertainments??? Remember how we wanted lots of people attending to see how clever we were with our theme and decor? And remember our 2009 Balls Up that we hosted in the Richmond bowls club with the theme of an end of war party, a ,40s swing band, a fred estare movie playing on a screen, the bombs recording at the entrance. And remember Ballaratâs Ballsups of 2001 and later for the marsi gras theme? What absolute FUN they all were. So Letâs get a few tables together, register, pay our money, arrange a designated driver or uber and go and have fun!The following from the Melbourne Ladies Balls Up committee:Hey Frauleins, Fraus and Gutaussehende MĂ€nner

Only 75 more sleeps to the event of the year! The MLH3 Oktoberfest BallsupâŠSaturday 23 OctoberâŠ
 I know, I know, weâre in lockdown. I get it and itâs hard to see beyond the end of the couch let alone freedom beyond 5kâsâŠâč
 Hopefully vaccination rates will be up by then⊠but we give you our 100% guarantee of a refund if the event is cancelled due to DHH COVID restrictions.
BUT imagine how you will feel looking at all the photos of other hashers in their cute outfits and you werenât there!!! For yearsâŠall youâll hear is, âoh wasnât that forking hilarious when the cops arrived just as the Harriettes were dancing naked in the beer fountainâ Talk about FOMOâŠ
 So while youâve got time on your hands, get your tables together, get your registrations in and put it in your diary. Something to look forward to âeh and donât we all need a bit of that?
 To celebrate only 75 days to go hereâs a recipe for a French 75 cocktailâŠdonât stop at one, I mean once youâve opened the bottle of champagne, it would be a crime to waste it! Â
- 60mls gin
- 15mls simple syrup (50/50 sugar and water dissolved)
- Champagne (chilled)
- 20mls lemon juice
- Ice
 Add gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup to a chilled cocktail shaker with a handful of ice, shake then strain into a champagne flute. Top up with champagne garnish with lemon peel.
