Presentation Night Summer 06
There was nearly a slight Hic Up with the
trophies this year because at 3pm on the big day I had
NONE! The trophy man had gone on holiday and not engraved the trophies
before going away. He came back that very Monday morning and late in the
afternoon phoned me to say they were done, so it all ended well. (PHEW!)
We
started the evening with eight players challenging Phil “The Power” Taylor
and of course nobody came close to beating him except Violet Knapton. Some of
you may know of Violet (Charlie Burns mother) but it was an extra special
birthday treat for her as she was 80 years young on Monday. Phil, the great
sport that he is, made it a really memorable day she won’t ever forget.
I
had a bit of battery trouble (with the microphone.) I can usually make myself
heard and I am not lost for words but they got lost in the excitement until the
mike was sorted!
The
"Power" presented the trophies to the enthusiastic winners who all wanted to shake
the Maestros hand. After the formalities Phil spent a good hour talking and
socialising with everybody.
A
great night was had by all who came and many thanks must go to Phil Taylor who
made the evening so special.
