SUCCESS ON A PLATE by Sylvia Bull
For the third consecutive year our prize presentation dinner took place at King George Field Indoor Bowling Club's function room on Wednesday 23rd April. The tried and tested menu remained the same - as did the chef Phil and our very efficient waitress Barbara. There were, however, two changes Phil's wife Liz was away on a family holiday so another Liz stepped into the breach to be the bartender. |

The other change was instead of having oblong tables we had four round tables which each comfortably seated eight - providing a much warmer atmosphere. Absentees for the meal were Bridget and John Green who had been awoken from their slumber in the early hours of the same day by their son Simon who was returning from a long trip abroad and required a lift from Heathrow. |
With it being so early in the morning Bridget and John completely forgot that the dinner was at the same time as they were required at the airport. So, Norman collected the trophies from him during the day and we arrived at the function room nice and early so that we could set the cups and awards out. Bridget and John did call in to check that all was in order before they left for the airport. |

All our guests arrived promptly even John and Valerie Ellis who made the long trip from East Preston. The delicious meal was served and gratefully consumed by all. Just as we finished eating John and Bridget arrived back from the airport having delivered Simon to his home so John was able to be the master of ceremonies and announce the winners with the trophies presented by Chairman Ken Kendall with the exception of the Concorde cup which was, as always, presented by Gwynne Ligertwood. |
