This is the evening we give out trophies to all those Members who have been successful in various races and club events during the year. This is a big night for us and has always been hugely popular with Members.
Every year we run a charity auction and we encourage Members to bring along items to be auctioned. All proceeds go to our charity, Karahands.

If you are wishing to attend please pay the dinner cost into the club account at 03 0539 0165992 00 together with your name and 'Awards Dinner'. You can, of course, pay the Treasurer when you arrive.
