2018 Prize giving and Dinner Dance

[shep]

Last night 10th March 2018, 96 ACOC members and their guests sat down to marvelous Dinner Dance at the beautiful Elvetham Hotel near Hartley Wintney in Hampshire. Following complimentary Prosecco pre-dinner drinks, the ACOC party filled the library restaurant. This year's nominated Charity was Prostate Cancer Research in memory of John Davison, and the auction of a gold and diamond AC pendant, skillfully created and generously donated by Paul and Jacqui Eaton, and our usual raffle raised £2000.00!! All the ACOC prize winners from the various events during 2017 were presented with their trophies and keepsakes, and the dance floor was full until 01.00 on Sunday morning. The usual suspects continued the festivities into the bar for a couple more hours. In the morning the sun was shining, and after a hearty breakfast everyone could make their way home to celebrate Mothers' Day. Great fun was had by all, and many thanks to The Elvetham, and of course all the ACOC members and their guests who made the event such a success. Andy Shepherd, Chairman ACOC.
