Sunday 11 December 2011 – Club Christmas Party

The Christmas lunch was an interesting event, as we were washed out of Rose Cottage, and adjourned, somewhat damp to the Hellenic Club.   A big thanks to Troy for his efforts in organising both events.
 
The end of year trophies were announced, rather than handed out – blame the weather again. Congratulations to:
 
Colin Tierney – Pist’n'Broke trophy for his smashing efforts in the EH racer
Kathy Pryce – Michelle Reid trophy recipient
Matt Hetherington – Barry Holloway Trophy
Troy Byrne – Shield of Honour
 
All worthy awardees. 
And can I wish you all a very Happy Christmas, a great New Year and safe travels.  See you in 2012. 
Cheers David
