THE 2009 PRESENTATION EVENING

Burton Village Hall , October 2009

It was back to the Burton Village Hall again this year for the club's annual trophy extravaganza. Once again, there was music and laughter and ale flowed freely (for those who won the music quiz that is, well done there to Goose, Grunter, Freestyler, Fish and Dibs).

As usual, the food was great and this year we didn't have to reach for the Rennie after one of Smithy's microwave meals nukes the crap out of your digestive system. Instead, Geraldine and Graham Pratt provided excellent fair in the form of a lovely cottage pie with beans, followed by a fruit pudding that 2 people ate and Lee's flapjacks, which must be said, are frikkin wonderful. Straight on the hips though, I'm sure.

The presentations went well (see below) and the quiz was a giggle as always. Special thanks go to Statto for his skills as newly elected club compere. If not for his taste in music.

Once again, the photos of the winners are shown below and there are captions underneath each photo but some might have another comment available if you hover your mouse over the image. (Apologies in advance for those).

A random whiskey bottle? Hell no. Chuck a quid at it and the one who's closest wins it. So who got it this close in a team of apparent cricketers?

That's right. A flipping 7 year old. Still, get 'em started young. Well done Cameron. I'll have mine with soda.

! ! Have a great Christmas and see you all next year ! !
