With great food, and flowing wine the evening was enjoyed by us all.
We were honoured to have Brian Hughes Captain of the Denbighshire Past Captains Society and has pleaded, that next years match against Denbighshire Past Captains Society that our Association win the match as the converting Bickley Wheel is making his house look untidy.

Our guest speaker Dom Woodward a premier league comedian entertained us all with outstanding comedy, and audience participation for nearly an hour.
