SOCIETY High Sheriff’s reception Over 350 people representing a complete cross-section of Island life gathered for a cocktail party and reception at Tyne Hall on Saturday July 1, as invited guests of the High Sheriff Peter Grimaldi and his wife Davinia. The party was given as a way of acknowledging the valuable contribution made to life on the Island by a whole range of organisations and individuals, including business and trades people, social, education and voluntary workers, the emergency and rescue services, youth organisations, Council officials, elected members and town mayors. Guests enjoyed champagne and canapés in a beautifully-decorated marquee and were entertained by music from the Sandown and Shanklin Military Band. Island Life - www.islandlifemagazine.net 43
