This evening was a great success.

Howard Fairman, our guest of honour, was surprised by the numbers present and was sure that next year there would be even more. The top photo shows the people who were presented with their badges on the night. As remarked by our events manager " a pleasant evening of good old fashioned camaraderie and inter-service banter/baiting. Just like the old days !
