The final event for 2012 was a huge success. After holding our end of year celebration at the Hawthorn Town Hall for many years, we were required to seek an alternative venue due to extensive renovations at Hawthorn. So we moved to Sophia’s Restaurant on Burwood Highway. With over 300 players and family members in attendance, it was a fabulous night with great food, great music and dancing, and presentation of medals and trophies to all players.
