On Saturday it was Stoke AA’s presentation evening at the working men’s club and I always think it’s nice to get together and celebrate the years achievements and trophy winners.
Chairman Chris welcomed everyone and thanked the club members for all their hard work swim clearing along with raising a fantastic £2000 for Yeovil Hospital Oncology Unit (the Nugget-O-Meter contributed £700 towards the total so I’d like to say a massive thanks to everyone who has got involved over the last year, it really is appreciated) plus £534 for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, well done everyone!
Chris White was the Club Champion and also received the A Gardner Match Specimen Shield
I was well chuffed to finally get my name on the Memorial Shield (along with the Novice Shield, Axminster Cup, Aggregate Shield and the Autumn Triple trophy
