Our 2nd Annual Awards evening was held on Saturday 21st November at Colville Park Club, Motherwell. This years event was attended by no less than 250 students and their family members to celebrate the years events. Grand Master MacCallum and his wife Morag, joined us as guests of honour.
The evening began with welcome drinks and official pictures of each family attending. Mr. McIlvaney officially welcomed everyone, and spoke briefly about the year, and some of the achievements, before a three course meal was served.
