MC Max Hofman kept the crowd entertained and the evening moving along.

The crowd enjoyed a very tasty meal prepared by the Young Services Club.

Presentations were made to the winners and runners-up of all competitions and club championships.

Club Champions for 2014 are: Men’s A Grade Scott Druett, Women’s A Grade Sandra Veness, Men’s B Grade Steve Corbett, Women’s B Grade Sandra Richens, Men’s C Grade Lee Armstrong, Women’s C Grade Melinda Tierney, Mens D Grade Bailey Coombes, and Women’s D Grade Sally Flanders.

A number of special awards were also presented during the evening. 

The Most Improved Senior Player was presented to Dean Kinlyside. 

Bailey Coombes was awarded Most Improved Junior. Sportsman of The Year award was accepted by Mick Ashton. 

Club Person of the Year was picked up by Linda Rogers.

Men’s A Grade Champion Scott Druett and runner-up Geoff Palmer combined with their table to triumph in the trivia quiz.

All who attended were encouraged to buy the answers to the quiz for the cost of a gold coin. 

All money raised by sale of the quiz answers was donated to the Michaela Perrin Family Fund.

The egg and spoon race held at the end of the presentations proved that the competitive spirit is alive and well away from the squash court.

The Squash Club’s AGM was held on Tuesday, December 2.
