Thanks to all who attended and made our 1st event of the year a great success .

It was lovely to see quite a lot of new faces as well as the all the 'old' ones who have given us so much support over the past few years. Thanks also to everyone who pitched in and gave us a hand on the day, it was very much appreciated. :thumbsup:
