“What have you got to lose, only gain a few friends, have a great night to get dressed up for, make your parents proud of you and have fun a different way,” explained Lyn.
“You will never experience anything like it before or after ever again.”
Lyn urged in her statement that potential applicants should not delay as the closing date is fast approaching.
One of the potential roses may get the chance to open doors to new opportunities.
