Old Sils Hockey Club celebrated what has surely been one of the most successful seasons in its history at the Clubhouse on 22nd April when a record 130 members and supporters enjoyed a memorable Annual Dinner & Awards evening.
After a superb 3-course meal (thank you Rupert Davies and team), the toast to the Club was proposed by Jim Goldstraw and reports on successful seasons for all three sections - Mens, Ladies and Juniors, were given by Tom Harrison, Frankie Levey and Andre Tchakhotine.
President Jason Dalby summarised the many non-playing achievements and introduced our guests Steve Urry, Charles Fillingham, Chris Mayer, Jane Sixsmith, Ellie-Mae Beeton and George Sitch, before the final Awards of the night were presented.
