Their sixth gala ball on Saturday evening raised $100,000 for charity as almost 600 guests were treated to a night of fine dining and entertainment as the matrons transformed the Namoi cotton gin into a 1920s style garden party.

From the ball’s beginning it was clear this wasn’t going to be just any ordinary evening. But the matrons are no ordinary group of girls. After the weekend’s gala event the matrons can boast of raising more than $700,000 from just six biennial balls.

This year’s generosity will see $75,000 go to Angel Flight while the remaining $25,000 will go into a fund for the Narromine, Trangie, Warren and Tottenham communities.

After 10 years in the game it was clear on Saturday the Matrons know how to put on a show.

Cult cricket commentator and former international Kerry O’Keeffe revelled in his Master of Ceremonies role while more star appeal was added with the presence of Channel Nine sports reporter Tim Sheridan. The experience of both special guests was a great boon to the fundraising efforts.

A large portion of the money was raised from silent auctions, which enabled guests to bid from the comfort of their dinner table with the results projected onto a large screen.

A live auction with four items raised, along with the help of auctioneer extraordinaire Simon Cant, an astounding $18,000.

One lucky bidder took home a guitar singed by music legends ACDC for a cool $7000.

Angel Flight founder Bob Bristow attended the ball and was blown away by what he saw and received.

“It’s an amazing event. It’s the most completely professional event I have been invited to and I get invited to quite a lot, so a huge congratulations, a magnificent effort,” Mr Bristow said.

Matrons president Skye Rush said the committee had spent nearly two years organising Saturday’s ball and she was ecstatic with the results.

“It’s been huge. Everybody was so stoked with it all. The great thing is everybody is behind you and it’s great to get all that support,” Mrs Rush said.

“Kerry O’ Keeffe and Tim Sheridan, they both got behind us to do whatever they could to help us raise more money

“Times are tough and it’s nice to put something on every two years that people can save up for and look forward to enjoying themselves Everybody gets involved they are not there just to eat and drink, they’re there to watch a show,” she said.

Mrs Rush also thanked the army of 120 volunteers without who she said the ball would not have been able to go ahead.
