The ladies, all in stunning outfits and lovely hats,enjoyed copulas amounts of bubbly throughout the afternoon as well as raffles, auctions and garden games along with lunch in the main marque. Over ten thousand pounds raised for the hospice - a long hard five hour live broadcast session but worth every minute.
