A bevy of women, elegantly clad in Easter-themed outfits and intricately designed hats, showed up in support of the Guyana Association of Women Police Annual Tea Party and Hat Show on Saturday at the Police Officers’ Mess Annex, Eve Leary in Georgetown.
Welcoming the gathering was Inspector J Bowen Moore, as a melodious Sergeant B Smith wowed the audience with a string of musical renditions, inclusive of Rihanna’s popular hit “Love on the Brain”, accompanied by the Police Steel Band. Ms Smith certainly did not disappoint.
The stunning ladies, ranging from little girls to middle-aged women, captured the audience’s rapt attention as they displayed their pieces in three categories – tropical, comical and elegant.
The Chairman of the Headquarters subcommittee and event organiser said the affair was the third annual event hosted in aid of students who have sat the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) Examinations. The proceeds of the show, she stated, goes to award the sixth and seventh-place top performers at the Examinations.
She related that the event was being planned since February and tickets were sold at $1000. In addition, the competition was open to anyone who purchased a ticket and wished to display their piece, with prizes being awarded for the best hat in each of the mentioned categories.
Patrons were treated to delicious snacks and tea by courteous members of the Police Force as they sat back in comfort, absorbed in the programme.
