Christmas Lunch - Cooden Beach 16th Dec 2012

A lovely time was had by all at the Christmas lunch.  The Cooden Beach Hotel supplied a delicious roast as always.  The Alex Hall memorial cup was presented by Alex's wife Lorraine to Dave Oxbrow for services to the club as voted for by you the members.  A fitting winner I think you'll agree.  Alex's daughter Victoria thanked the club for raising money for the fund from the 5km in June.  Dave's thank you is posted below:


"I must say a huge thanks to all at BRT, whoever you voted for.  I was somewhat overwhelmed and so proud to be the first to receive the “Alex Hall Memorial Cup”. I failed completely at the lunch to fully express my thanks especially to Lorraine, Victoria and Alexander. We will all remember Alex for his warm and friendly outlook, encouraging us all, never judging always positive. He was our friend as well as a much valued club member. He will be missed, but not forgotten by all who knew or met him. He inspired us in our efforts, and despite his stature was a giant of a man, someone to look up to and strive to emulate. I received this award on everyone’s behalf, thanks again, now let’s make 2013 even better. "

With heartfelt thanks Dave.

 
The 2 names picked out of the hat for the London Marathon were Tim Cox & Jez Wood, who duly choked on his beer!  The afternoon would not have been complete without Father Christmas making an appearance & presenting the children with chocolate presents.
