As our guests arrived, they were greeted to the sound of Andrew's bagpipes which quickly got everyone into the right mood. Liz and Brian Norton the chefs for the night once again produced a wonderful meal and we thank them for their hard work. The food was expertly served by our four young and energetic waitresses. Thank you to those people who agreed to speak or make toasts on the evening. Thanks to peoples generosity, the event raised £559 towards funds.More pictures in the Gallery.
