On Saturday 9th March, we held our annual Presentation Evening at the Civic Centre in Trowbridge, celebrating the brilliant achievements of our members throughout 2023.
This year’s event followed a “Casino Night” theme, with plenty of red and black decorations and a fun photo booth with themed props to match! We even had our very own Martin Russam providing tunes from across the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 00’s until the early hours - with plenty of people dancing the night away!
Alongside the celebrations, our charity raffle on the evening was a resounding success and raised £545 for the deserving local community group ‘Helping the Homeless in Bath and West Wiltshire’.
A huge thank you to everyone that attended and donated raffle prizes, and a big well done to all those that won an award, including those that achieved either a Single or Double Goal Getters Award in 2023. It was a fantastic night of celebration, and we already look forward to next year!
