from across the pond Leighton House was the setting for the NEWH summer cocktail party, generously sponsored by Hotel Installations Project Support. The opulence of rich decoration and a fine selection of paintings by Lord Leighton and his contemporaries provided the sumptuous setting. Cocktails and arabesque canapes were served in the exotic Arab Hall and studio. The latter was traditionally used by Lord Leighton for his musical soirees. Members and guests generously, and in good spirit, supported the charities of YCI and Cheeky Chops which aid the training and education of disadvantaged women in the hospitality industry.
