Saturday the 28th February saw us hold our third fundraising dinner. For the second year running it was held at the Menzies Hotel in Dyce, with approx 200 in attendance. The first guest speaker was former grade 1 referee Brian McGinlay, who had many a story to tell from his refereeing days. Next up was Les Peters, who was returning after his debut with us last year. Once again he was in good form and kept everyone well entertained. We would like to thank both speakers for joining us and hope they enjoyed the night with us. Also to be thanked are all the guests- the various sponsors, companies, individuals and fellow junior teams. Officially 4 tables were taken by our competitors- Stonehaven and Glentanar joining us for the first time along with regulars Culter and Hillhead. Next to the Glens table was Rollstud, which was a who's who of Formartine Utd effectively meaning a 5th team. All the auction items went well and overall we managed to boost the coffers to make the night worthwhile. Once more the whole thing was expertly hosted by the man who certainly puts the master into master of ceremonies- Ian Thain. Thanks to Ian and also Vicki & her staff at the hotel for ensuring everything went without a hitch. Hopefully see you all next time!
