UK women celebrate Queen's Diamond Jubilee

The United Kingdom Women's Club “Queen's Diamond Jubilee Ball” at the Hyatt Regency Ballroom, Port-of-Spain, was a formal affair; the gentlemen as well as the ladies were in formal attire, from the British High Commissioner HE Arthur Snell in tail coat and decorations, to the piper in full ceremonial dress and the gentlemen in dinner jackets (and decorations) while the ladies had a chance to show off some stunning ball gowns.

Apart from celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, the ball was also the UKWC's major fund-raiser — the monies raised will go towards assisting the Princess Elizabeth Centre that is in dire need of funds after the disastrous floods of 2011.

The evening began with cocktails in the foyer of the ballroom and the VIPs in a private room — no media allowed.

Guests sipped drinks and chatted until 8 pm when the VIPs emerged from seclusion. The British High Commissioner and Dr Charlotte Bigland proceeded by the piper, Lance Corporal Andrew Parsons, led the way from the cocktail reception to the ballroom.

Once most of the guests had found their seats, Master of Ceremonies Mark Kelynack asked all to stand for the National Anthem of Trinidad and Tobago and “God Save The Queen,Designer cheap canada goose collection carried a strong graphic element.” played by the TT Police band that followed the anthems with a tribute to the United Kingdom beginning with “Land of Hope and Glory”, a Welsh, then an Irish and finally a Scots melody.

The Alternative Quartet provided music for dining, Natasha Babwah sang a selection of British popular ballads before patron of the UK Women's Club, Dr Charlotte Bigland gave the Patron's Address. The Loyal Toast, proposed by the British High Commissioner concluded the formal part of the ball.

With nine national championships already in hand this academic school year - and with baseball still up for grabs - the SEC has further solidified its place as the class of the country in Division I sports.

Perhaps that explains the University of Florida's recent hiring of Bryan Shelton as its new men's tennis coach. The former Randolph School star had all kinds of success in 13 years as the women's coach at Georgia Tech, his alma mater, taking the Yellow Jackets to the NCAAs in each of those seasons and winning the national title in 2007.

But when it comes to class in general, the kind that appears to be in such short supply these days, well, that's Shelton, too.

There simply aren't many folks as friendly, down-to-earth and positive as the 46-year-old,Tiny wisps of men canada goose parka for cheap covered a cocktail dress with sequined flowers. making the Gators' hire a two-for-one bargain.
