After a ride on one of the most pothole-riddled roads, guests arrived at the picturesque Robin's Bay in St Mary for Lanville Henry's annual Sankey Party. Saturday, March 20 was beautiful and the rains that threatened did not come at all.

The turnout was not as massive as former years', even though regulars begged organisers to reconsider a cancellation when word went out that the prevailing economic climate would not allow them to host it gratis this year. Those in attendance agreed that the $2,500 was more than worth the copious amounts of liquor, enough food to feed the biblical 5,000 and an ambience that was both healthy and secure. And as for the music, there were genres for all tastes and many did not leave the dance floor, even after their clothes became soaking wet.

Well done, Lanville! What a vibe; perhaps you need to package the formula for a successful session away from the city and sell it. May the party continue for many more years.
