Sunday 11 December 2011 – Club Christmas Party

oldgmh — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 22:34:08 +0000

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
