Happy New Year

A Happy 2008 to you all.

Croydon CF branch held a successful Christmas meal that was attended by twenty members. Afterwards we all went on a typical Croydon bar crawl but luckily no one was caught in a brawl!!

Here are some pictures of the night- enjoy!

The Masquerade Ball

Last Friday Croydon CF hosted The Masquerade Ball. It was a tremendous success and people came from all over the South East.

It was impressive to see that everyone who attended wore masks and Syed Kamall MEP gave prizes to the people who had the best overall mask, the best homemade mask and the most outrageous mask!!

After Justine Greening MP's speech we sat down to a four course dinner and listened to music played by a jazz-funk band. Mark Clarke PPC for Tooting conducted our auction that raised a lot of funds for the branch.

Dancing and drinking until the early hours of Saturday morning all of Croydon CF breathed a sigh of relief as we were finally able to relax and reflect on what an excellent night it had been.

Thanks to Justine Greening MP, Syed Kamall MEP, Richard Ottaway MP, Cllr & GLA Candidate Steve O' Connell, Mark Clarke PPC for Tooting, Cllr Robert Askey, Katie Tucker, Alistair Cooling and Sarah Davies for their help and support during the organisation and attendance of the event.
