40 odd of Barford’s finest (and a few hangers on) attended the Annual Dinner at Merchants in Warwick, hosted by our fun-loving Social Secretary and Captain. The meal was up to their usual high standards and was enjoyed (I think!) by all. Interspersed with the courses were a selection of prizes, and speeches from the Captain reflecting on the season past, and the Chairman on the career of Pete Romyn who has metaphorically hung up his boots – if the chairman manages to supply a publishable version of his B C C Chairman’s poem 2015 then it can be shared with the wider world.
This year’s video production by DGM (Drage Griffin Masterworks) was a stunning reconstruction of the entries in the Worst Drop and Fielding Flop prize categories, and included some memorable impersonations (especially of the Vice-Chairman). Hopefully these can also be made available at a later date!
