These photos show the near capacity crowd of people at the ball with a Romantic Gothic theme at Preston Town Hall on June 24th.

If you scroll down past a few dancing photos, some of those who attended face the camera and finally some decorations are  included.

It's a Romantic Gothic theme so the lights are dimmed. The photo shows just the "tip of the iceberg" as the circling goes all the way down the hall.

While others went for the Dracula!!

Whoever said "Two's company, three's a crowd"!?
