Our Annual Club Dinner and Presentation of Awards was held on Friday, 9th.
November and was, as ever, well-supported with more than sixty members in
attendance.
This year we were fortunate to be joined by one of Carrickfergus Cricket Club's
most distinguished and well-respected former members as our guest speaker:
International Umpire, Paddy O'Hara.
Paddy entertained us with a sparkling and humorous speech which included many
anecdotes of his own playing days at Carrickfergus. Some of the stories went
back far enough that even our own Beggsy was struggling! Mr. O'Hara is obviously
a man whose experience belies his youthful appearance... (we'll be looking for a
few favourable decisions for that one next season, eh lads?).
Joining Paddy and his wife as guests of our President, we were also
honoured by the company of the ever-affable Northern Cricket Union Vice-President
Harold McCrory, his Laurelvale colleague Adrian Campbell, and their wives,
the President of the Northern Ireland Umpires' and Scorers' Association, Arthur
Thompson, and his wife and the Town Mayor and Lady Mayoress, Billy Ashe and
his wife.
The dinner itself was, as per usual, of the very highest quality and we would
take this opportunity to compliment our fantastic and ever-popular club-caterer,
Fiona, for her efforts on the night.
We've divided the photos into several pages to break-up the download time
necessary to view them. A full list of our award winners is available on the
prizewinners page...
