It was a great evening, nice waddle, food, drinks and awards... it finished as usual with some extra drinks in the club bar, for some maybe too many. Congratulations to Ross S (GP Jeffries Cup/ Rower of the year), James D. (Wally Wheldal Cup/ sportsmanship and endeavour of the year) and Anna, BBL of the year, for their well deserved awards.
