Annual dinner and awards

[sh1kar]

Now here’s a thought

What about an annual SD members dinner. Maybe same dates and location as whatever that shooting stalking show you all raving about

Get CP to also judge the most evocative photograph, but not the music award as he hates Jazz!

It’s a good idea but probably needs to be spilt into 3 Dinners due to logistics and cost:

Highland
Midland
Lowland

Excellent idea!
I propose that it be held in Pwllheli

Defo. Whistling sands

It’s a great idea, however how would we get @John Gryphon over from Oz? He would already have won 90% of category’s

On a serious note I did think that
And do we think it’s doable. Regional dinners voting then a national award by category. We could also do an SD venison master chef

Ok Antipodean region dinner to send one ambassador. And yes I know it’s bazillion times bigger than uk

You’ll have more luck voting for a 4th Dinner that is exclusively for SD Hobbits!

Can someone do a vote thingy and see how many are really up for it. I can host a marque and bbq

Before I actually bought this site, I organised a clay shoot with local accommodation down south. Followed the next day, Sunday, a free visit to the big game museum I ran.
Needless to say about 20 came to the shoot, and over 60 came forth freebie look round.
This was some 15 years or so back.

Trouble with anything of this nature is good support. And with less than 600 members when I organised the past event, we now have 31,000 plus members.

At the dinner would you have a bullet or a head of the table.

How many SD Supporters are there?

Tempted to say “way too many” judging by my appalling luck in the Monthly Prize Draw but perhaps an annual Dinner is more realistic with a much reduced qualifying pool of interest?

SD members dinner

Fabulous idea.
I like the link to the Stalking Show.
Might there be venison on the menu?
May I suggest a venue where camping is allowed.

Stalking Directonbury.

With extra mud and fewer posh teenagers smoking weed.

Black tie only?
We did a new years fest on 31 Dec 1978 at the London Ritz with a ballroom and overnight included.
Car body design contractors came from all over Europe for it. Only happened the once.

2008 Malc I was going to come then had to to New Zealand with work.

Nice idea, but getting SD members to agree on the menu, good luck with that.
