It was a great night and it was great to see both young, old and past and present members out in full force.

Members kicked off their wellies and put on their dancing shoes for the band Plug & Dom.

On the night the club had an auction which raised £1,550. The club would like to thank all the sponsors who bought an item for auctioning.
