OCC Social - Events OCC Presentation Evening 2011
This year’s Annual Dinner Dance was held on Saturday 26th November 2011 at Broke Hill Golf Club, our third year at this venue with a sell out of 110 attendees.

As per the norm, a number of presentations and awards were made during the course of the evening, as are highlighted below.

Firstly, after our ‘independent’ adjudicator Frank Penfold had carried out the 100 club draw, we presented cheques to those people who had won and were in attendance. In all £1,250 of prizes were drawn and you can see the full list of winners by clicking here.

Next we went on to present the season's 10 cricket based awards - the winners thereof are listed below:-

Colt of the year – Matt Andrews
Most Promising Youngster – George Fuller
Batsman of the year – Paul Sheddon
Bowler of the year – Paul Schmidt
Outstanding Performance – Paul Sheddon
Outstanding Contribution – Ian Game
Top Pitch Award – Rob Graham
OCC Hall of Fame - Ian Game
Frank Plankton – Keith Stockbridge
Most Improved – Ben Clarkson


Following on from the clubs outstanding season both on and off the pitch, the club Captains also collected their respective League trophies:

1st XI Division 2 League Winners – Paul Schmidt
3rd XI Kent Regional League Division 1c Winners – Dan Game
4th XI Kent Regional League Division 2s Runners-up – Paul McCracken


In addition to the cricketing awards detailed above, we also awarded our outstanding tea makers Jim and Trudi with some flowers and other gifts. Although it is hard to believe that the standard of our cricket teas was even better than in previous seasons, it was, with even whisperings of Roast Dinners being offered to those playing Sunday cricket – I think we all will agree that we are a very lucky club to have them both on board!

Following on from the Old Boys get together in early 2011, we were also delighted to award Hari Patel, Paul Hemple and Frances Holmes with their OCC Life Memberships – more details about becoming a Life Member can be found by clicking here.

Finally in regards to the awards, in place of missing Captain Adam Page, Ben Clarkson was presented with the Gordon Hall OCC Tour Trophy as captain of the Lads side that triumphed in Leeds in the club’s July 2011 tour. Thanks must also be given to the all the people that helped in organising this event [Robbo, Gamey, Wattsy to mention but a few], it is hard work and all help is appreciated.

Away from the awards, I would also like to thank our DJ Andy for helping us out throughout the night, and to the staff of Broke Hill who offered a supreme service with both the serving of food, and also the serving of drinks! Thanks also to Gill and Julie for helping to shift as many raffle tickets as they did, and to the generous amounts of decent prizes that were donated to the cause. In total the raffle raised not far short of £400 which is clearly a tremendous achievement.

All in all it was a great night, everyone who came seemed to have a great time and the only disappointment was when the DJ stopped playing at the allotted hour of 1am. For those of who you who didn’t come to this highlight of the club’s social calendar, you missed out on another excellent evening. A selection of photos are available by clicking here [thanks must go to the Bootsy for the taking of these pictures!]

Professional photos were also taken, which can be viewed and purchased here: http://eventmemories.co.uk/p505249623

I look forward to seeing you all next Season.
