Holdsworth, Patrick Hughes, Julian Opie, William Stein, Estelle Thompson

experience of adoption: Russell Young, Claerwen James and Tony Heywood.
The
Gourmet evening is the brainchild of Guardian food writer and ‘Great
British Menu’ judge, Matthew Fort, who had the support of PAC almost 25
years ago. He said: “'What a prospect - dishes by some of the country’s
most creative chefs; works from some of the country's finest artists -
to raise money for a charity that means a great deal to me. It's going
to be a mouth-watering, eye-opening evening!”
There will
also be a silent auction, which will include lots such as 1 hour private
flower arranging tuition for 2 with Shane Connolly (appointed florist
to HRH Prince of Wales); 7 night stay in St. Lucia at Cap Maison; a day
at Cheltenham Races for 2; a place on one of the European-guided Art
Tours in the 2012 brochure from the Ultimate Travel Company; dinner with
Tom Parker Bowles and a signed England football shirt.
