​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Prize Giving

Thank you to everyone who supported the Prize Giving evening it was absolutely marvelous to see such a great turnout.

Very special to acknowledge our Club's National Champions with the piping ceremony and the interviews were very insightful. 

Congratulations to all the winners of the various trophies for the season.

I know Greg has paid tribute to all the volunteers who put this event together but I'll say again on behalf of the Club, you are tremendous.
