Ladies Who Lunch 2009
Lunch in the City
Friday 25 September saw the MS Society Scotland hold its 3rd Ladies Lunch in Glasgow. The Radisson SAS Hotel was a fantastic venue for this extravagant event where more than 150 ladies revelled in the sights and sounds before them.
The guests were treated to a spectacular fashion show featuring "real" models wearing Zara clothes, Tantrums & Tiaras fascinators and Catherin Aitken handbags. Not to mention the gorgeous Glasgow Hawks rugby players who escorted the models down the catwalk! These plucky Hawks even "volunteered" to auction themselves off for kisses later in the afternoon and posed for a topless photo with the hilarious comedian Susan Calman!
Hosts Des & Vanessa from Galaxy FM's breakfast show steered the proceedings with such aplomb that Vanessa was rewarded by being granted her wish of taking away the polystyrene head that had supported the fascinator from the silent auction all day.
The star of the day though was 14 year old campaigner, Ryan McLaughlin, who had a room full of women hanging off his every word as he delivered his emotional speech about how MS has touched his life and how proud he was to see his mum Kirsten modelling in the fashion show. Ryan even helped with the auction and raised the sale price of one of the auction items to a phenomenal £2,600.
The total raised from the afternoon was over £14,600 much to the delight of all the guests who had so generously supported the Society and it's work.
Thank you to everyone who supported this event with their time, hard work and generosity!
