Oldham One Business Awards
Well what a splendid night this
was! So many talented individuals and groups were present all worthy of the
awards being handed out. The night started off with a little get together of
the different companies and individuals, also the miniaturised casino where
people could spend the customised money, the person with the biggest amount of
money by the time we all had to sit down won the main prize of a Porsche 911
for a week and the runner up a bottle of champagne. Our students were up there
on the stage who had been asked on short notice to perform some musical entertainment for us to start the
night with. As we all sat down we had an energiser come on stage, we had to answer some general knowledge questions, true or false, and the last person left standing won a bottle of champagne. The meal set out
for the night was delicious didn’t exactly fill my stomach though (as I found the portion sizes small).
