Three serving areas manned by excellent teams kept up a constant flow of service to the guests, one in particular being the outdoor kitchen where the chefs turned out an assortment of tasty pizzas in full view of everyone.

Of particular note also was that on arrival the guests were decorated with garlands and illuminated bands around their necks and rings on their fingers emitting flashing pearls of light as they walked around and interacted with each other.
The delightful and moon-lit evening was complemented by music and singing by Boss & Friends as well as songs by Audrey Rogers and Courtney Abel, a Barrister-at-Law and noted singer.

Midway in the function, Alan Bardfield, son of Dr. and Mrs. Bardfield, and an Optometrist in Connecticut in the United States, spoke in glowering terms about his father. He indicated that his birthday was an occasion he could not miss. In saying so he had also echoed the sentiments of the large number of guests who, too, were happy they did not miss the event.
