The Mere Golf Resort and Spa was the setting for the sensational ladies lunch, held in aid of Once Upon a Smile, a charity that provides emotional and practical support to bereaved families.

The lunch, held in memory of Lucy Goldstone and Issac Maley, who both passed away from severe asthma attacks was organised by Lucy's grandmother Margie Edwards, Lois Ashton and Sue Sellors. Guests were dazzled by the latest styles from Suka Boutique in a glamorous fashion show and also enjoyed the musical stylings from operatic singer Martin Toal. After an afternoon of shopping and delicious food, just under £8,000 was raised for the charity. Margie said: 'It was a wonderful afternoon and a very special event. Once Upon a Smile is an incredible charity with an inspiring team.'
