This Commemoration not only honours our Club's history but also recognizes the individuals contributing to its ongoing success. Countless efforts are made behind the scenes, often unseen. The Club Person of the Year award is a small token of appreciation for the selfless and dedicated work of our volunteers. This year, we proudly announced Norm Spalding as the 2024 Club Person of the Year for his exceptional service as a first aid first responder and trainer. Norm's commitment to organising and conducting numerous First Aid courses is truly commendable. Congratulations, Norm, for your outstanding professionalism and dedication.
During the event, we also revealed the winner of the Commemoration Cup, a tradition that dates back to the Club's founding General Meeting on August 19, 1949. This year, marking the Cup's 75th anniversary, Murray Ironfield was announced as the 2024 winner. Congratulations, Murray.
The evening was filled with celebration, camaraderie and joy as our Members and guests gathered to enjoy the splendid venue, delicious food, and music by FABBA, transporting us back to the 70s. FABBA had everyone on the dance floor, singing and clapping along to classic ABBA tunes. The lively atmosphere had guests showing off their best 70s attire and dance moves, making it a challenge to pick the evening's winners and adding a delightful touch of fun to the event.
Thank you once again for making this night unforgettable, and we eagerly anticipate our upcoming events at the Club and in particular the “The Opera Extravaganza” - watch out for details on booking shortly.
