HOTCATS celebrate half-century in style
RYE and District Hotels and Caterers Association (HOTCATS) marked half a century last week.
The group celebrated the milestone by holding a black tie dinner at the Hope Anchor Hotel.
The venue took on a special meaning as it was at the Hope Anchor that Tony Mann founded the organisation in 1961.

Current HOTCATS chairman John Smith presented Tony with a commemorative bowl specifically produced by Rye Pottery to mark the occasion.
John commented: “The evening started with an excellent champagne reception followed by a sumptuous three course dinner which was hugely enjoyed by all the HOTCATS members who attended. The evening was considered by all to have been a great success.”
