Once again a great night was had by all at this years annual Prize Giving Dinner. After a fantastic meal, proceedings, this year, were ably conducted by Vice Commodore, Will Barrett and the prizes were, as usual, presented by our esteemed Hon. President, Bob Leitch. The after dinner speeches and toasts, anecdotes and songs, that have long been a tradition of Monklands“ get togethers” rounded of what was another super evening.
