Special Member Recognition Event on 11 December 2021
As everyone is aware, we were forced to hold two events online during 2021: our Annual Awards back in May and our AGM in July
So, on Saturday, 11 December we held a special event to present awards in person to numerous members.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t invite all members as we were restricted by social-distancing rules.
Please see a few images from the night below. Photo credits and thank you to Eric Crooke.
