Another resounding success, a bigger venue at the Civil Service ground, a sell-out, which was not surprising at just £5 per head including food, lots of entertainment, videos and slide presentations capturing moments from the last 12 months as well as another year of achievement!
Full slide show (45) will be available this week.
Firstly a big thank you to all our members for helping with the preparations and organisation during the evening.
Sold our full allocation of tickets.
The videos of our years highlights and achievements will be on YouTube sometime this week as will some more highlights from the event.
A great celebration of our club.
As usual some fun family quizzes had been prepared to start the evening, then following the food Dave Ponton, QVC star presenter then acted as MC for the awards which inevitably provided some very funny moments, especially with the winners interviews!
Professional presentation throughout.
Some magic moments during the winners interviews, wait until you see the video!
