What a fantastic evening at the club!

An amazing turnout to welcome both new and returning members. It was great to reconnect, catch up with friends, and dive back into our creative work.

A big thank you to Ian for chairing the night, delivering a great speech, and presenting our well-deserved awards . We also heard from Bobby, our programme leader, who gave us an exciting glimpse of what’s ahead this year — and we can’t wait!

Congratulations to our award winners!
