The last club night before Christmas is usually the Awards night for Grand Prix and ELVIS, and 2021 was no different.
First, was the matter of the Christmas Canter to be had: mince pies, mulled wine, sherry, cheese and crackers - but all while doing half-mile laps of the park! Organised this year by Dave & Laura Sherman, everyone had a great time eating, drinking and running in the dark!
