Social Report 28/04/15 - Annual Dinner 2015

The end of season dinner dance was held at Swalec Stadium on Saturday 25th April 2015.

This year 142 people attended the event in total – this included 59 from the ladies’ side and 83 from the men’s side. It was nice to see many members’ partners also attending. Despite the fact that three of the teams were playing the in Welsh cup finals the next day, the evening was far from subdued. The bar opened at 6.30pm along with the formal photo session and vodka roll game. The sweet cart was a hit with many bags of sweeties being spotted in the table throughout the evening.

After the reception, people were seated and the more formal welcome was given by Brad Channer. Dinner was served and everyone continued the evening. As coffee was served the presentation of awards began by Kat Hunter and Brad. This year 6 club awards had been formed in which any ladies’ or men’s member could win.
