BCLA Gala Dinner
(Dress code: Black tie, lounge or fancy dress)
Saddle up cowboys, cowgirls, and Indians and get ready to party in the Wild, Wild, West as the BCLA wagon rolls out to new frontiers for the 2012 Gala Dinner. Sheriff Shelly and his posse will be blazing into town looking for the Conference's Most Wanted outlaws to sling in the County Jail. Release your inner saloon girl, southern belle, barman, marshal, bandit or poker player and make this a Wild, Wild West party to remember. Tickets are priced at £75 per head and must be purchased in advance. Avoid the stampede and book your tickets as early as possible - and don't forget you that you will need to collect your tickets with your registration badge and choose your table places at the BCLA stand during the exhibition opening hours.
