We got some fantastic shots in some of Bawtry’s fantastic bars and restaurants and special thanks go to them all as well as Elite Hair in Bawtry for the hair and make- up on the day.

Sebastian Dollinger Head of Design at Eton Shirts
Eton, the renowned shirt d e s i g n e r a n d m a n u fa c t u r e r is perhaps one of our most popular brands.

compliment where Eton is in the market place.
Q: Where does the inspiration come from to create each new collection?
A: 1) Exclusive designs made in house with the very finest extra long staple yarns.

A: I love clothes and doing what I do, but it’s not everything. We can all be guilty of working too much, it’s just what we do. But there are multiple things in life. By doing other things as well it kind of recharges you and you find inspiration in the weirdest places, so that when you come back and do shirts or you’re a car mechanic you often find it’s better. Inspiration is everywhere. Q: Robinsons and Eton have enjoyed a long standing partnership. How do you select your retailers in the UK? A: We try to select retailers who have the same passion for quality and service that we do ourselves and Robinsons is certainly one of those. An interesting brand mix is also important where the price levels are such that they
Q:For anyone who is yet to discover the pleasures of your shirts could you give us three reasons why they should buy their shirts from Eton.
Q: You boast a staggering collection of prints, designs and cuts. Are there any golden rules that men should consider when choosing their shirts ? A: I’m not the one dressing you! The truth is you should wear what you are most comfortable with but don’t be afraid to add a little spice now and then.

SOCIETY B oy b a n d l eg e n d s w o w pa c k e d c r o w d at c h i n a r o s e The new must on the monthly social calendar continues to dazzle audiences with great food as well as fantastic entertainment. July saw Boyband Legends take to the stage at Bawtry favourite Chine Rose, here’s a few pics from the night. If you have any society snaps you’d like including our next issue please email: james@robinsonsofbawtry.com
Birthday Surprise for Lindsey! A few weeks ago we took part in a charity golf day to raise funds for local girl Abigail Cook who has Battens disease; a degenerative condition. Abigail has been busy fulfilling her ‘wish list’ but we decided it was time to give her mum, Lindsey, a special treat too! Lindsey enjoyed a few hours with us trying on a host of dresses and outfits that Hannah had lined up for her. She finally settled on a stunning black and electric blue number by the fabulous Bernshaw.
The following day she enjoyed a couple of hours with the team at Elite who gave her a manicure, styled her hair and an indulgent make-up session. Lindsey, along with her husband Martin and friends, partied the night away at China Rose for one of its popular ‘Showtime’ nights. Lindsey is a lovely lady who really deserved some ‘me’ time. We wish all the family lots of luck. For more information on Battens Disease and Abigail’s wish list please visit her fundraising website on www.abigailcook.tumblr.com
