It has become a well-established tradition for Councillor Patricia Rolfe, currently the Deputy Mayor of New Romney, to host an annual charity dinner for International Women’s Day.

This year’s dinner, held at the Littlestone Golf Club, was extremely well supported by local women of all ages and from all walks of life, and the Lord-Lieutenant’s female representative on this occasion was Mrs Ros McCarthy DL. The Guest of Honour was Lady Sandra Howard, who gave an inspiring after-dinner speech describing the late flowering of her very successful writing career.

It was a most interesting and relaxed event, much enjoyed by everyone, and giving all the ladies present an opportunity to socialise and network with friends old and new.
