For each May Ball / June Event or equivalent held by the college
since the year 2000, could you please let me know:
i/ If the event was a fund-raising event with charitable aims.
ii/ If the event benefited from tax exemptions which applies to
fund-raising events.
iii/ The amount donated by the body running the event to charitable
causes, broken down by which [other] charities received donations
of money raised by the event.
iv/ The value of the contribution made to each event's finances by
the college. Including both cash contributions and waived charges
for products and services.
My request may well be fulfilled by releasing the annual report /
statement of accounts produced by the group organising the event.
I would like my response to include information, where held, on any
May Balls / June Events currently being organised.

Dear Sir,
The answers to your various questions are amended below. I must apologise,
but due to an error here, we have not responded to your request earlier.
For each May Ball / June Event or equivalent held by the college
since the year 2000, could you please let me know:
i/ If the event was a fund-raising event with charitable aims.
The event was not a fund raising event with charitable aims.
ii/ If the event benefited from tax exemptions which applies to
fund-raising events.
It did not.
iii/ The amount donated by the body running the event to charitable
causes, broken down by which [other] charities received donations
of money raised by the event.
None. You should note the local hospice does receive anything it would
like after the event, which I understand has mainly been food but we keep
no records of the details of such donations.
iv/ The value of the contribution made to each event's finances by
the college. Including both cash contributions and waived charges
for products and services.
The College makes no contribution to these events either in cash or waived
charges.
My request may well be fulfilled by releasing the annual report /
statement of accounts produced by the group organising the event.
I would like my response to include information, where held, on any
May Balls / June Events currently being organised
