*St Andrew’s Charity Ball – Saturday 29 November. The Hague*

Calling local expats and friends! You’re warmly invited to the St Andrew’s Society of the Netherlands’ annual Charity Ball on Saturday 29 November.

It’s always great fun, and tickets usually sell out early.

Come on your own, with a partner, or gather a table — newcomers are especially welcome. Hope to see you on the dance floor!
