TOPLESS male waiters served champagne and canapés to women from Nailsworth's business community who helped raise more than £700 for a playgroup.

The night, called What Women Want, was organised by Hannah Beardshall and Laura Needham, who are co-chairmen of the Coigne Playgroup in Minchinhampton, to raise money for new play equipment.

It was held at Wild Garlic Restaurant in Cossack Square, Nailsworth which is co-owned by Hannah.

Style and image consultant Louise Taylor-Bowen gave a talk on fashion, which included a catwalk show with clothes and accessories from Nailsworth clothing boutique Number One.

Owners of other Nailsworth businesses ran stalls offering samples of their products.

Businesses taking part included Armed and Gorgeous, Claire Frances Hair Design, Essence of Design and Tip to Toe Hair and Beauty.

Hannah said: "It was a really great, girlie night, which brought together the owners of some of Nailsworth's best boutiques to raise money for a wonderful cause."
