2008 Awards & Trophies Night 27/1/09 at The Orchard

Steve Stone as vice chairman stood in for Fred Marriott who extended his apologies, but as he was in Australia on holiday could not get back for the presentation evening.

Steve thanked various members of the committee for their contribution during the 2008 season with a special thanks to Bernie who although not a committee member puts in many hours of valuable work compiling the returns and points.

Steve said that although we had had half the booked trips blown off during 2008 there had been some notable fish caught, he also went on to thank all of the members for their support on the club and its trips.
