This was followed in the evening with the Captain's Inauguration, where the club welcomed in new captain Stuart Tolley, who took over the reins of office from retiring captain Richard Johnson. A delicious Italian-themed dinner was enjoyed by everyone and served by Adam Hatten Catering.

Congratulations go to Richard for his year in charge and now everyone looks forward to Stuart’s tenure.
