2016 Year End Function

2016 DCC AWARDS & FUNCTION

We have come to the end of another great year at DCC with some great outings, technical evenings and some superb photography. We had our end of year function at Mt Edgecombe once again and what a fantastic evening, lots of fun and loads of laughs. Just a special mention to Brigitte Jordaan for all her hard work organising an amazing party for everyone, as well as Ron and Rhonwyn for all your help.

Thanks to our guest speaker, Geoff Feldon for coming and for your great speech, judging and handing out the awards. A special mention to Rory for organising DCC's first print competition and all the work you did to get everything printed.

And a final thanks to everyone that came, hope you all enjoyed the evening as much as I did and thanks for a great year. Here's hoping 2017 is another great year.
