Rising insurance and operating costs are threatening the future of some Bachelors' & Spinster's Balls in Victoria, but organisers say they are more than a fun event for future couples to meet.
"And that's it. They can charge whatever price they want, and you must have insurance for these types of events.
"We've probably pumped close to $10 million over 10 years into various charities and organisations in our community," Lauren said. "When we initially got going a lot of kids at the pubs asked if we could play at those type of events, so it grew from there," he said."It's really hard when you see pictures that people show you, but it's not all about getting blind and throwing up. I've had more trouble playing at pubs than at B&S balls."
Silverstring Outlaws had their curtain call at the Koonoomoo B&S in north-eastern Victoria last year.
