It was brilliant. Big thanks to Quinssa for organising.
Highlight for me was the story about Austin Healey.

It was a great evenings entertainment , full of belly laughs and
interesting anecdotes , clearly a guy that is happy to laugh at
himself as well as others . If Owens chooses to go on the after
dinner speaking circuit when he hangs up his whistle , he'll be
a star at that - hes a natural .

A brilliant night, indeed. Well done Quinssa.
Only fly in the ointment was the bar excelling themselves with
ineptitude which they spiced up with a splash of rudeness.

He already is. Was at a club dinner last year, self-deprecating,
funny with some great stories of growing up as the only one in
the village etc. Did he sing? He did after the dinner speech and
he was very good (in a likeable Welsh way of course). Top ref
and top man.

Yes , he sang , but hard to stop a Welshman with a microphone
bursting into song I suppose ( he did it justice though) , he
mixed it with a joke about Rourkes Drift and the Zulu film which
was funny -

Great evening. Food arrived late and bar staff were totally
inept, but the main event was well worth it.

An excellent evening- well done and thanks to all for organising
it.
I must however mention the most uncomfortable chairs I have ever
experienced. So bad that my legs failed to work after two hours
on one and it wasn't the beer! I wonder where the more modern
metal framed stacking ones from previous events have gone? Well
done Quins on going for the cheapest option again.

Completely agree re chairs. They are without doubt the most
uncomfortable chairs I've sat on for a long time. I thought it
was just me!

Yes, the chairs were very uncomfortable but what made it worse
was their being placed too close together. Great evening
though, probably the best Quinssa event I’ve ever attended.
Many thanks to all involved in the organisation.
