Last Friday evening, over 50 Soroptimists, friends and relations gathered at the Giltar Hotel for a gastronomic feast of puddings, all in aid of local charities. President Elanor welcomed the guests and was also delighted to see founder member Margaret Hughes at the event.

Talented chef Philip and his team excelled themselves, producing a never-ending array of delicious sweet and savoury delights, to include mini Yorkshire puddings, dainty chicken nests, succulent miniature St. Clements sponges and sticky toffee puddings, elegant glasses of chilled melon soup, petite passion fruit pavlovas and delicate cups filled with crème brulee - a banquet fit for a king.

During the meal, the raffle was drawn and an impressive selection of prizes was distributed. This netted a substantial amount and, combined with proceeds from the ticket sales, raised nearly £300 for the various charities.

The evening concluded with a variety act presented by the Giltar's very own Claudio. His many skilful tricks with golf balls proved to be highly entertaining and provided a fitting finish to this fantastic Festival of Puddings.

SI Tenby would like to thank fellow Soroptimist Pam Maggs (pictured centre) for all her hard work in organising the festival. Thanks, as always, are also extended to Patrick, Malcolm and their staff for helping to make the evening such a resounding success.
