The No Tips for VIPs Charity Event organised by Viset Malta plc at Heat Bar and Diner on the Valletta Waterfront proved to be another success following last year. People swarmed into the bar and spilled over onto the waterfront and socialised until the early hours of the morning.

Thanks to the many celebrities and politicians who rolled up their sleeves, armed themselves with notepads, and donned aprons, to act out the uncustomary roles of barmen and waiters, a total of Lm1,300 were generated throughout the night, in aid of the Harm Shelter of Caritas Malta.

The event could not have had a better turnout. The list of celebrities and politicians got longer and longer, and included Ivan Grech, Kristina Casolani, Lou Bondi, Hooligan, Bitterside, William Mangion, Gianni, Malcolm B, Moira Delia, Andrea Cassar, Claire Agius, Sander Agius, Owen Bonnici, Daniel Chircop, Miriam Dalli, Valerie Vella, Tonio Darmanin, Julia Farrugia, the cast from Giselle, Nirvana Azzopardi, George Pullicino, Chris Agius, Tonio Borg, Francis Albani and Charles Briffa who were all willing to help out. Throughout the night, there were also performances by the live bands Scream Daisy, Scar, Klinsmann Coleiro and Olivia Lewis.

Since the weather was mild, the Versatile Brass Band played along the water’s edge and carnival dancers entertained visitors.

“I would like to thank all the Viset staff for the hard work they have put into the success of this event, and to all the personalities and visitors. A big thank you goes to all the sponsors DJS Trading, MK Leisure, Digital Music Sound, Avantech, 89.7 Bay, Farsons, Camilleri Wines, Nexos, Bristow Potteries, SG Retails Operations and mtmalta.com

who helped in bringing this

fund-raiser together. If it were not for all these people, the much-needed funds for Caritas would not have been collected,” said Chris Paris, general manager, Viset Malta plc.
