BRAT AWARDS 26/11/2022

Saturday 26^th November saw the return of a full blown BRAT Awards evening at Birmingham City Football Ground.  It was great to be able to get everyone together again in person to celebrate the amazing performances across all age
groups and disciplines.

The evening would not have been able to go ahead without the input from a number of people, but especially Julie Smith for organising it all, Gordon Ainsley for collating performances and Martin Ludford for sorting all the trophies.
