Presentation Evening 2024

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!
