Well what can we say about the annual Christmas party….was it better than last year?? YES! Just over 300 people turned up to pack out the music room at the beachcomber in Cleethorpes for an amazing night to end the year of 2012 and to celebrate everyone’s achievements! There was the grading presentation to kick things off with all 3 clubs having students passing their new grades so well done to all those students for attaining that brand new belt! Then came the annual awards for efforts made throughout the year in all categories. A disco was provided by our very own Matty Blenkinsop and Steve Graham which was great so thank you very much guys! The hog roast came out and it really didn’t take you guys long to get through it all haha! Then came the big awards, the ones that everyone want to win!
