CHRISTMAS 2007 AWARDS

As last year, the awards event was held at Bramley Social Club. This venue is just right and we are indebted to Josie and Doug who work miracles in making sure we get this venue at a more than reasonable price!!

The day was also special for Lorraine Ritchie - it was her birthday and she was presented with a small gift.  In addition, Karen England and Lorraine Ritchie received a small token of appreciation for their long hours of sitting on the club minibus and the dojo reception - a personalised cushion! Pat Clarke's work at the dojo was recognised by the presentation of a plant. David Reece' many hours of driving the minibus was recognised by the presentation of a driver's cap!!

The afternoon started with a well received Children's magic entertainer - Daddy Longlegs.  He certainly kept the children (and adults) well entertained for nearly an hour.  It was a great event with everybody joining in the fun or just basking in the friendly atmosphere. The buffet was superb and the visit by Santa a real treat for everyone.

As always the awards for best student and most improved student are given following nominations from all students.  Two additional national awards were also presented following nominations earlier in the year.  The competition for best attendance was so great that by the end of the year one missed class could move those in contention from the top to the bottom of the leader board!
