Ian Shuey created an underwater theme for the awards dinner with goldfish bowls on the tables and balloon bubbles floating overhead; a rainbow arch formed a feature to close off the back of the room.  MC Toby Travanner kept the pace moving and production manager Graeme Haycraft ensured that speeches were kept to the limit.  The local Taiko group were revealed to the audience as they were elevated into view on the orchestra pit lift and Sugartrain had the revellers bouncing on the dance floor.
The after party was held in the casino Showroom – in a wonderful step back in time the entertainment featured video clips from the 70s and 80s which fitted the Showroom’s 70s heritage.
