Annual Dinner
& Presentation Evening 2011
The 109th Annual Dinner Dance and Prize Presentation
Held for the first time at Mitton Hall, Mitton, Whalley, and ironically the former home of the Birtwistle family, cotton magnates and founder members of the club.
Over ninety members and guests were treated to a superb meal on circular tables dotted around the dance floor and lit by silver candelabras.
Chris Lee and Martyn Wylie prepared a great photo display in the bar giving a brief insight into the clubs motoring activities throughout the previous year, and the presentation of trophies was undertaken by Chris Lee (no microphone required!) The recipients all said a few words, but being quietly spoken did need the microphone!!
The Reverend Barry Whitehead was presented with the Peter Collins Trophy, John Wadsworth with the Wood Trophy, Carolyn Taylor with the Attwood Trophy and the Jaguar Trophy to Kay Hopkinson.
In the Sprint Championship the winner was Craig Powers, second John Moxham and third Derek Martlew.
Annual Dinner
& Presentation Evening 2009
This year we had a change
of venue for our Annual Dinner Dance and Prize Presentation
and our new venue was The Moorcock Hotel above Waddington.
As instructed on their tickets
members and guests started to arrive around about 7.00 pm. and
were greeted with roaring open fire as they sat down to pre
dinner drinks in what was a very cosy atmosphere.
Around 7.45 pm we were called
by our MC for the evening Mr. Chris Lee, to take our seats for
dinner. After all were seated grace was offered by our “Flying
Vicar” the Rev. Barry Whitehead ably assisted by his daughter
Eve. Everyone now enjoyed a very tasty three course meal, which
all at our table thoroughly enjoyed. After coffee Martin Wylie
and Chris Gradwell circulated selling raffle tickets. There
now followed the Presentation of “Awards” which were as follows.

with her husband Anthony, arranging our Annual Dinner Dance
and Awards Evening.
A very heartfelt thanks to
you both from all our members and guests for a magnificent evening
once again.
Following the Loyal toast
proposed by Mr. “Ted” Heath there followed a draw for the raffle
with numerous magnificent prizes, after which the DJ struck
up and some of our members and guests did some very energetic
dancing. My party retired to sit by the open fire in the bar
area and enjoyed a few drinks. Around 11.30 pm various guests
began to depart having enjoyed another very successful evening
and our thanks must go to Carolyn Taylor, for all her efforts
and hard work. Hope to see you all again next year. Editor
