WESTERN BUREAU:James and Manuela Goren kick-started a fun-filled weekend in Montego Bay on Friday, February 18, by opening their fabulous villa at the Tryall Club for the western Jamaica business community to fête Prime Minister Bruce Golding.

Although the prime minister was absent because of illness, there was a lot of flurry around the Italian/New York couple's poolside as the event attracted the United Kingdom's etiquette and social graces expert Liz Brewer, 19-time middleweight and superweight champion, Chris Eubank; London's lady of the arts, Theresa Roberts, and United States Ambassador Pamela Bridgewater and her husband, the Reverend Russell Awkard.

Tryall's newest resident, Jamaica's counsel general to New York, Dr Genieve Brown-Metzer, and government ministers Edmund Bartlett and Dr Christopher Tufton and his wife, Naedene, were part of the guest list for the intimate cocktail reception.

The Gorens' event was the precursor to what many have labelled the best Sugar Cane Ball in the history of the Hanover Charities annual affair. This year, Tryall's Violet Lewis and Candace Hart did the honours in organising a fantastic team chaired by Katrin Casserly.

By Sunday afternoon, Ivana Trump, former first wife of United States business tycoon, Donald Trump; NCIS's Michael Weatherly, Liz John Pringle, widow of Round Hill Hotel and Villas founder, John Pringle, and Ralph and Ricki Lauren were among the celebrities who jetted in the island for a weekend owned by the parish of Hanover.
