Huge congratulations to all the nominees of the annual Oh! Awards celebration evening and thank you to all who attended and joined in the celebrations!

Much fun was had once the flat tire, the delayed Cava and the missing awards were sorted out.  It seemed that nothing was going to go smoothly until the lights went up and guests started arriving.  Or was that until the cava arrived and started flowing?  Either way – it was alright on the night as they say!

Not only were the 2016 winners announced but the new design club vest was also revealed and rigorous testing has started!  We hope to have these on general sale by the end of February.
