‘YA GOTTA HAVE A PENCIL THIN
MUSTACHE’!

Well…it’s not exactly mandatory for admittance, but
if you guys really want to get in the spirit of the evening, try growing a
Errol Flynn style pencil thin mustache between now and Dec. 17 when the
Christmas Ball rolls around.  If you show up without one, we’ll even be
able to provide a temporary one.  Or… as the Jimmy Buffet song goes:

 “Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be
Maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby
If I only had a pencil thin mustache
Then I could do some cruisin' too”

THREE WEEKS TO GO UNTIL THE BALL

Yes, it’s time to get your act in gear and plan to be
with us in Port Antonio Saturday night, Dec 17. We’ll plan to have the whole
“nine yards”, i.e. perfect night, great scenery, fantastic dance music, lots of
camaraderie, Ken Wright Pier aglow with thousands of tiny white lights, 
everybody duded up in their holiday best and the moon in it’s final
phase.  Also, if you’ve been waiting for pay day to buy tickets, there’s
no more excuses beyond today.  Tickets are $3,000.00 in advance and
$3,500.00 if you wait to pay at the door.  If you’re in Kingston, swing by
Stewart’s Automotive Center at 5 Orchard Road for tickets.  In Port
Antonio, visit the Errol Flynn Marina which is open every day. Got a question?

ERROL FLYNN CHRISTMAS BALL NEWS

IT’S JUST A MONTH AWAY!

Want
to miss your chance to attend the best holiday bash in Jamaica?  Then keep
procrastinating about getting your tickets for the Errol Flynn Christmas Ball
Dec. 17 in Port Antonio.  Not only will you be enjoying a fabulous holiday
season party and dance, you’ll also be helping someone less fortunate at the
same time.  The Ball benefits the Homeless Shelter and Rehabilitation
Centre in Portland.  Tickets are $3,000.00 in advance and $3,500.00 at the
door.  Stewarts Automotive Group in Kingston is your outlet in that
area.  See them at 5 Orchard Road or call 876-968-0930.  In Port Antonio,

‘FAB FIVE’: GETTING YOUNGER EVERY DAY!

For
those who wonder how Fab 5 has thrived for more than four decades, Frankie
Campbell, manager and bassist for the group cites several reasons. 
“We are always looking to keep in touch with musical trends.  We may
not be big fans of today's dancehall music, but every year, there are great
songs and we try to make sure that we perform these songs and keep ourselves relevant
to the younger generation.  “At the same time, we periodically infuse
new and younger talent into the band so that we maintain our energy and
enthusiasm. The other thing is we like what we do and treat it like a job that
we are privileged to have, rather than some burden forced on us. Fab 5, with
the backing of artistes on shows and the new songs we put into our bandstand
catalogue, must be one of the most rehearsed bands in the world. We are
constantly in rehearsal.”

BUFFET DINNER SERVICE AVAILABLE

A
full buffet service will be available at Norma’s Beach Bar and Grille
from  6:30 p .m. until 10 p.m for those wanting something more than finger
food and other snacks.  Norma’s is located immediately adjacent to the Ken

$1,000.00 JAD for single entrée, $1200 for double entrée.

OUR HONORARY CHAIRPERSON

We

service for the balls held in 2009 and 2010 and is now a most appreciated
advisor to your steering committee.

fantastic Frenchman’s Cove Beach the following morning, Sunday, Dec. 18,

the world, bar none.

CHECK OUT  OUR FACEBOOK PAGE:

If
you’re into social networking, please check out our Facebook page: “Errol Flynn
Christmas Benefit Ball”, for complete details on our planned evening Dec. 17 in
Port Antonio.  You will discover (and continue to discover) a variety of
facts about Errol Flynn, his wife and Ball patron, Patrice Wymore Flynn, and
the handsome guy that’s carrying on the famous Flynn moniker:  grandson
Luke Flynn.  Yes, Luke will be there at the ball; likely being mistaken
for his legendary grandfather.

VISA,
Masterercard and American Express cards will be accepted for payment at the
ball.  This service is provided by First Caribbean Bank, a sponsor of the

WILL ERROL FLYNN’S ‘ZACA’ BE THERE?…WELL ALMOST!

We
are pleased to note the 136 foot Barquentine tall ship,  “Corwith Cramer”
will be berthed at the end of the Ken Wright Pier on the night of the Errol
Flynn Christmas Ball.  She’s a spectacular sight under full sail and
operates as a sail training ship in the Caribbean.  Errol Flynn’s Zaca, at
118 feet, was a gaff-rigged schooner.  Zaca is still seen in the
Mediterranean where it has been fully restored to its former glory.

I just wanted to let anyone who's interested
know that as of today, Nov 13, 2011, I'm selling a brochure for Errol
Flynn's Titchfield hotel (from what I believe is the 1950s) on ebay.
The link is I apologize if you consider this spam, but I thank you for the article
as it helped give me historical background for the brochure.
