More than 150 participants from Austria, Hungary, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, Switzerland, Yugoslavia and the USA were present at this event. Beside all Hungarian IBSSA leaders and big company leaders many Hungarian and foreign high police officers (generals, colonels), chief instructors of Special Police Forces, leading international businessmen, security experts and famous artists – like David MERLINI – honoured the ball.

The organisers have invited one of the most popular bands called “Netti és a Hollander Zenekar” who have already entertained the audience of the previous Bodyguard Balls. All artists were very pleasant surprises for the guests especially the fabulous singer Judith SZUCS, who dazzled the audience with her voice. The Old Fashioned Photograph Show was again the most favoured one among our guests during the evening. The ready-made pictures reminded us to our grand parents’ time with their brownish background and black frame. The guests could choose among a great number of costumes from the turn of the century and received one of the most popular presents of the ballperiod, the “Old Fashioned Photo” of themselves. Besides the popular Old Fashioned Photograph Show the guests had the possibility to play cards and play the roulette – lay the stakes – free of charge and without prejudice. Now everyone could test his / her luck at the roulette table.

IBSSA would like to express its special thanks and congratulation to Mr. György B. RÓZSA – Owner of R.B.Gy PR Agency – for the successful organisation of this event.
