Hats and outfits that wouldn't have been out of place in the My Fair Lady film were the order of the day. A champagne reception by the river was followed by a wonderful lunch before bets were placed and the racing began. Large screens in the marquee showed the live races from Ascot and the excitement was immense. 
Lisa Seccombe, Head of Fundraising and Public Relations for Isabel Hospice said 'We would like to thank Sue Warren and her lunch committee for the hard work they put into making this a spectacular day, both visually and in hospice fundraising terms. 

It is hoped that the event will have raised over &#xA3;20,000 for Isabel Hospice,  and this could not have been achieved without the generosity of Mr & Mrs Williams for allowing the event to be held at Tewin Bury Farm and all the sponsors and donors of the fantastic and imaginative  prizes for the auction and the raffle. 
These prizes included seven nights stay in a luxurious Florida holiday home, a morning on the gallops at Newmarket watching top trainer; James Farnshawe's horses go through their paces; a signed photo of Lewis Hamilton, donated by the man himself, and a weekend's championship boxing which was two VIP tickets to see Amir Khan in action, overnight accommodation and signed boxing gloves by Amir Khan.'
