Old (Sky) Blue Eyes put it well didn't he in My Way, and May the Fourth be with you brought on the 2009 End of Season Awards Dinner.
Thanks to our very own corporate sponsors, we attended the first ever end of season do in 2006, where we stayed in the Ricoh Hotel itself, the second, where James Bond blew the budget out of the water, and we would even have had a table last year if Arson hadn't decided there was absolutely nothing to celebrate.
To summarise the evening in a paragraph (as other posts will review the season overall), yours truly, G2, Ells Bells, YDO, Matt, Paul and three non UCC members (fathers of two of us plus Dale, who has at least attended the Ricoh this season) - had table 43. No free drink on arrival was followed by some good food, some awards, Graham Poll on good form , a very bad Manchester Working Mens Club comedian ("I wasn't born in Coventry but I'm certainly dying here tonight") and a descent to the casino when the evening finished. SBJ was in Boston, not the one in Lincolnshire, so missed the evening. Overall, obviously on a tighter budget, far fewer people, and not as good as previous years.
Gunner however, our Player of the Year, was on fine social networking form, and thanked each and every one of his fans and friends personally.
