Latest News from Balmoral Village

Balmoral was absolutely buzzing last week as the village hosted its much-loved annual Christmas celebration — an evening that brought more than 80 residents together for festive cheer, great food, and a whole lot of dancing.

The night began in style with a beautifully prepared three-course dinner, complete with drinks flowing and conversations humming across the room. As residents settled in, the warm glow of the festive season filled the venue, setting the perfect backdrop for what would become one of Balmoral’s most memorable Christmas gatherings.

Adding to the magic was the wonderful Graeme Ferdinands, the Melbourne-based entertainer renowned for performing classic hits that seniors love. Graeme had the crowd singing along, tapping their toes, and — before long — filling the dance floor with energy and laughter. His timeless repertoire struck all the right notes, creating a joyful soundtrack to a truly special evening.

One of the night’s highlights was the heartfelt moment when Ron Veldman, President of the Residents’ Association, presented Christmas gifts to Balmoral’s dedicated staff team. The applause that followed was warm, genuine, and deeply felt — a testament to the enormous gratitude residents hold for the people who make Balmoral such a wonderful place to live.

And in true Balmoral spirit, the festivities didn’t end after dessert. Many residents kicked on well into the night, continuing to dance, mingle, and celebrate the season together.

This year’s Christmas celebration was more than just a party — it was a reminder of the strong community spirit that defines Balmoral. Shared laughter, great entertainment, and heartfelt appreciation made it a night to remember.
