The International Club of the Riviera in association with Events By George! has pleasure in announcing their annual seasonal event which will herald the holiday season for members and guests, the X'mas Fusion Gala on Saturday the 3rd of December 2011, at the Grange in Mouans Sartoux starting at 7.00 p.m.

To ensure a festive mood right from the very beginning you will have a warm welcome with a version of the seasonal and traditional Mulled Wine and nibbles! A sumptuous buffet dinner of international and traditional festive fare will follow while the bar will serve up a superb duo of White and Red Wine with a regular flow ensured throughout the evening!

And you are promised an evening to remember, with two fabulous superstars flying in to provide the musical entertainment for the evening! Ginger Leigh from Houston, Texas who is a friend of the ICR having performed for them last year is back for this event and in addition Ginger is bringing along another fellow star and good friend Tori Sparks from Barcelona who has done many international shows around the World.

Ginger needs no introduction having performed for us last year! Tori Sparks is based in Barcelona, Spain, having recently relocated from Nashville - but she spends most of her time on the road all over the world. Tori, at the age of 27, has already released four critically-acclaimed albums under her own record label, Glass Mountain Records. She walks the line between soulful and hilarious in her electrifying live performances, singing in English, French and Spanish. Sparks is known as the hardest working woman in the music business, booking and playing well over 200 concerts each year.

Apart from their usual repertoire they will add a festive touch to the evening with some of your all time yuletide favourites as well! This will be a show you cannot miss and a fabulous evening is assured!

As always we pause for a moment during the evening to think of our less fortunate brothers and sisters when we conduct our Charity Raffle in aid of our Theme Charity for Children with HIV/AIDS. Please be generous when the raffle tickets come around.

Of course Santa Claus will be making an appearance with goodies for the younger members and there will be prizes and surprises throughout the evening to keep you entertained!

The all inclusive registration fee? Only €28 for members of the International Club of the Riviera, €33 for members of the RBC, ACR, CCR, Sunny Bank and Internations and €35 for all others. And as Christmas is a family event, children are of course welcome - children under 12 will be admitted free, and children under 18 only pay half rate.
