The Hutchie Ball 2023
The Hutchie Ball made a welcome return, this year taking place at Glasgow’s iconic Grand Central hotel.
It was an unforgettable night which brought together over 240 Hutchie parents, staff, former pupils, and governors, and marked the first Hutchie fundraising dinner dance since 2019, making it even more special.
As well as being a great opportunity for members of the extended school community to socialise and have some fun, the event also raised a fantastic £36,000, with every penny going towards the Hutchie Bursary Fund and the 1957 Group’s fundraising for school projects.
It was wonderful to have so many members of staff play a part in the event, with guests being piped through to their seats by our very own piping teacher, Dan Nevans, before hearing a welcome from Rector, Mike Martin. Tim Rhodes, our Head of Music, also made a charismatic MC for the evening.
There was no shortage of entertainment, with games such as tombola, heads or tails and ‘what’s in the box’. Prizes included a diamond bracelet, a Lily Mulberry handbag and a 2-night stay at Cameron House. New this year was the silent auction which raised a considerable amount, both on the night and in the lead up to the event.
Those who were feeling brave had their portraits drawn by the Kilted Caricaturist and the music continued with 6-piece band, Fiore, who had everyone on the dancefloor.
Committee member, Sandie Heverin, commented:
“It was fantastic to see such a large number of the Hutchie community having fun and partying together, as well as raising such a significant sum in support of the fundraising efforts of the Hutchie Bursary Fund and the 1957 Group.”
Thank you to all who contributed to the success of this incredible evening, in particular the organising committee which comprised of Roy Amner, Gillian D’Analeze, Sandie & Kevin Heverin, and Zoë Diamond.
Special thanks also to everyone who supported The Hutchie Ball and in particular our headline sponsors:
