IT’S A CHAIRMAN LOCK-OUT AT THE TDOTY BALL! |
|||
| Always one of
the year’s highlights, the 2009 Taxi Driver of the Year dinner
and dance not only kept up the usual high standard, but probably
beat it! Having moved home to the fairly new Crowne Plaza Hotel at Excel, Russell Poluck MBE (T55) and his TDOTY Committee pulled out all the stops to make sure that the large number of guests enjoyed every minute. The food was excellent and of course the most important part of making an evening swing - the band. Called Fraternity, they were faultless, knowing exactly what music to play that would get everyone up on their feet. It is just astonishing how the young seem to like beats that sound like a coal |
miner on speed, yet when it comes to a bash like this, young and old get up to dance to all the old favourites! Even more astonishing is how those who weren’t even born when the sixties were in full swing, know the words to every song! This band knew them all and played them brilliantly. The Mavericks Dance the night away could have been the actual group with the same applying to the Rolling Stones Satisfaction. No wonder the dance floor was always packed! You name a hit dance track and they probably played it. As you would expect, there was a queue waiting to dance with Editor Al – although he did have to search to find it! |
Perhaps more importantly, the reason everyone was there – to
raise money for the trade charities and that produced a very
healthy cheque for each of them of £1000. But, we hear you say, what’s this about a Chairman lock-out? Well Dial-a-Cab Chairman Brian Rice and wife Brenda made the long drive in from Hampshire in their everyday clothes intending to change at the hotel. Sad to say that on arrival, the electrics controlling the boot failed to work leaving them on the outside and their evening clothes on the inside! That, of course, didn’t stop the Chairman from joining everyone in the fun. All in all, a great night… |
