007 NIGHT A SUCCESS!

A great night was had by all who attended the 007 Night on Saturday. As well as being a great night it also raised important funds for the club.
There were some top class efforts in the dressing up stakes, including club President John Deans' velvet dinner jacket, winger Karl Wallis' velvet bow tie, and Dave Hewitt's high class, full length coat. Effort of the night must go to Alan Barber, father of club captain James Barber, who sported a white dinner jacket with red bow tie! Superb!
Other mentions need to go to the band, who played some great music and enterntained the crowd. And finally, thanks to all the committee who worked tirelessly to organise the event.
