Diss Business Forum members gathered at TW Gaze auction rooms on Wednesday, July 5 for its annual Pimms and Canapes social evening, sponsored by Spire Solicitors.

The Park Hotel, Fredericks Fine Foods, Katie's Kitchen and The Rustic Catering Company provided samples of their food served, along with a Pimms bar, by members of the forum's committee.

Members were able to preview the forthcoming antiques and modern design auctions while Mike Sarson, from TW Gaze, gave an update on the changes taking place to the site.

Violinist Jim O'Toole provided entertainment.

Chairman of Diss Business Forum, Brian Bale, said: 'This is a very popular event in our calendar with a chance to relax with fellow members on what was an ideal summer evening.

'Many of the guests had not visited an auction room before and enjoyed the opportunity to find out more.'

Diss Business Forum organises regular business breakfasts and networking events.
