Friday night saw some top-notch supporters of the Jamaica Labour Party's (JLP) Tarn Peralto rolling out the cheque books in his support in swanky Beverly Hills, St. Andrew. The atmosphere was relaxing and food of the best quality prepared by Lorraine Fung. Warm and Easy provided the music, and guests gathered in clusters around party leader Bruce Golding to share ideas and offer advice.

Mr. Golding, in his brief remarks, spoke of returning a sense of order to all levels of the society.

Hot topics included politics, the mysterious video tapes and the saga that seems destined for beneath the carpets, more politics, the upcomimg round of Easter season parties and more politics.
