Presentation Night; The League's annual dinner and dance was held at the Alma on Friday 21st June. 73 people sat down to Dinner, excellently supplied by River Caterers. Thanks goes to Lin, Mike and Paul Callanan and john Mitchell for giving time to help set up the hall. Thanks also goes to those who helped clear up after, don't ask me who I was in my usual relaxed post Dinner and Dance state. Thanks to all of you for buying raffle tickets as that is the ONLY profit made on the night. Prizes were presented by Dave Carliell the Kent Over 50's Champion. The two surprise wiiners of the trophies voted for by you were Daniel Jackson of the Greyhound for the Most Improved Player of The Year and the Brickmakers 'A' for the Sporting Team of The Year.
