The night of music and fun will be for the girls to let their hair down after a day on the water, and each girl will go home with a tip top goody bag full of girl’s essentials including Rip Curl and Hawaiian Tropic treats.
The live at the Crow Rooms will see Ruarri Joseph and his band take to the stage for a rare performance in the county.
