The invitation to attend HAPC’s Annual General Meeting on 10 April 1994 had come as a surprise and had been accepted as much out of courtesy as curiosity to discover how this apparently successful organisation functioned.

The fate of unfortunate families the world over keeps worsening year by year, as the international economic conditions deteriorate with resultant rise in prices and the lowering of living standards. It is a matter of grave concern that these are the families with the largest number of children and it is the children who suffer the most. Being brought up in unhealthy conditions, with lack of basic amenities these children form the highest percentage of school drop-outs and they face a clouded future.

As a winner of the 1st Prize in the H.A.P.C. Grand Lottery Draw I have nowords that could describe my extreme shock and joy to have been the lucky one picked out of 100’s of entries at the H.A.P.C. Charity Gala as the No 1 Prize winner – it was a God send!!. I recall the evening that Mr Pereira informed me of this news, there was pandemonium in my house!. We had to find the other half of the ticket and my entire wardrobe was on my bed whilst the children hunted through my pockets and handbags until they found the tickets!!. And then of course none of us slept all through the night, it was all too much to take in!!.

Celebrating a Ruby Wedding is no mean feat. It takes forty years of love to get there and Derrick and Daphne D’Cruz from Leytonstone did just that – so much so that their love extended to include the cause of assisting poor children.

A night to remember again at Ally Pally – but with a difference. The gigantic hall was a picture in balloonology. Besides the tables having their own decorations, thecomplete dance floor was canopied over and a great arch formed behind the stage – all arranged by Balloonland.
