Sunken Dreams Christmas Masquerade Dinner & 6th Annual Alumni Awards
Celebrating our 6th Annual Members Christmas Party, we invite you to join us for the Sunken Dreams’ Eco-Foundation‘s Black tie Masquerade Party at the Mill, Elstead, Surrey. The evening includes: a champagne reception, three course dinner, academy awards (as voted by Sunken Dreams members) and Christmas celebrations at the river-side countryside pub, the Mill.
Swap your dive masks for dress masks and your scuba bubbles for champagne fizz. We’ve locked off the Mill for us to keep the divers in and the bar full of good ales and Christmas spirit. Look forward to seeing you there and entertain the festive season with you. Friends and family of Academy members are welcome, but please confirm your menu selection and payment by the 23rd of November.
“Things are seldom what they seem, divers masquerade a Christmas dream.”
