A social fundraising event in Bacchus Marsh will combine line dancing and bingo to raise money for charity.
Hosted on November 22 at the Bacchus Marsh Public Hall by local organisation Neon Cowboy Bootscooters, the event will include a live performance from Gareth Leach and the Narratives of Hope, who will entertain attendees with the sound of country music.
After this, a bingo and social line dancing section will run from 2pm to 6pm – where attendees will be invited to submit dance requests in the lead up to the event, which will then be assigned to a bingo number.
Each number, randomly selected at the event, determines the next dance.
Neon Cowboy Bootscooters director and instructor Edward Kays said that when the same event was held last year, he received a positive response from participants.
“Most people when I first told them about it, they were a little bit sceptical … but, once they saw it in action, everyone loved it,” Mr Kays said.
The event will raise money for charity Support Act, which aims to provide crisis relief services and support to musicians, managers, crew and music workers across the music industry.
“The artists make music so I can dance … I can dance and do the fundraising which then helps Support Act, which then goes back to the artists,” Mr Kays said.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own drinks and snacks, but tea and coffee will be provided.
There will also be a raffle with prizes.
Doors will open at 12.30pm for a 1pm start.
Tickets cost $30 for dancers and $16 for non-dancers.
