The 2012 Queens' Ball is coming soon!

In recognition of Queen Elizabeth II's diamond julbilee, this year's event is entitled "Queens' Ball Jubilee - God Save the Queer." 

Costumes can be anything royal, British or otherwise, or any other connections you might make with the "God Save the Queer" theme. As always, let your imaginations run wild!

Keep the night of Sunday of Queen's Birthday weekend free to dance up a STORM with the coolest people in town. That's Sunday 10 June, everyone! For more details head to the event page here, or RSVP on our TasPride facebook.

A reminder also, if you renew your existing TasPride membership, and convince some else to sign up too, let us know and you will score yourself a free ticket to the Queens' Ball Jubilee! You can message us from the TasPride facebook page, or email us at admin@taspride.com.
