Have an Ab Fab night in Inverleigh!

AN absolutely fabulous event is coming to Inverleigh this month raising money for the Cancer Council.

Patsy and Eddie’s Girls Night In, held at Inverleigh Bowls Club, will include food, drinks, live music, raffles and prizes.

Businesswomen Jane Vandenberg and Tonia Tribe have often been compared to the Ab Fab duo and decided it would be the perfect theme for a fundraiser.

“Ton and I have called ourselves Patsy and Eddie for a very long time,” said Ms Vandenberg.

“Tonia is very regal and very much like Patsy who dresses up and has the beehive hairdo all the time, and Eddie is a bit of an old hippie which is exactly me to a tee.”

Last year the pair held a Bosom Buddies High Tea which raised more than $3000 for the Cancer Council.

“That was a really successful day and we’re hoping to do the same this year,” said Ms Vandenberg.

Ms Vandenberg has lived experience of cancer, being a breast cancer survivor of 12 years and Ms Tribe lost both her parents to cancer.

“It’s a charity that is very close to our heart that we want to help and give back in some way,” said Ms Vandenberg.

The duo encouraged the community to advocate for their health and stay informed.

“It is about raising awareness as well for us, particularly around women’s cancers,” said Ms Vandenberg.

“Don’t sit around if you have an ache or a pain or think you have a little cyst.”

The event will be on Saturday 19 October from 7pm. Tickets cost $50 and can be booked at bit.ly/4eencEA.
