On a sunny May bank holiday, friends and family of the late John Allen-Mirehouse, gathered to raise a toast in memory, whilst at the same time, raise money for a worthy cause.

‘Johnny’ from Angle, who passed away in December of 2022, following a short illness, was a member of Pembrokeshire County Council from 1995 to 2017 and served as the Local Authority’s Deputy Leader between 1999 to 2012.

He also served on the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority for more than 20 years, as Vice Lord Lieutenant of Dyfed and also as High Sheriff of Dyfed.

The Paul Sartori Foundation deeply appreciates the generous £2,661.71 donation received from The Old Point House in Angle following a memorable event held on Monday, May 27, in memory of Johnny.

This event, named ‘Johnny’s Fundraising Lunch’ - was organised by Jonathan at the Old Point House in conjunction with the Paul Sartori team.

Rosie, Johnny's wife, received invaluable support from the Paul Sartori Hospice at Home service which, alongside other local health professionals, enabled Johnny to spend his final days in his cherished home in Angle, surrounded by his family.

At the fundraiser, Johnny’s friends, family, the local community, and guests from near and far gathered to enjoy Johnny’s favourite treat of a homemade pie and a pint of cider at The Old Point House, a charming, historic 15th-century pub on the coast of Angle Bay.

The day was filled with the harmonious sounds of the Paul Sartori Community Choir, and guests participated in a raffle featuring generous prizes donated by The Old Point House, Pro Nails Wales, Andrew Price Hairdressers, Barti Rum, and That’ll be the Day tickets.

The Paul Sartori Foundation is incredibly grateful to Jonathan Williams, proprietor of The Old Point House, for organising and hosting this wonderful event.

The Foundation is thrilled to announce that Jonathan will host this special event again next year on Bank Holiday Monday, May 26, so watch this space and keep an eye on the Paul Sartori website at: www.paulsartori.org/events for upcoming events and ticket availability.
