Oh, What a Night…..

The FCA's 60th anniversary celebration was a night to remember and the FCA office was inundated by compliments from the Membership.

The event held at the Stratford Moathouse Stratford upon Avon on 14 September 2002 marked our 60 years as the industry's leading trade organisation.

Extra space had to be found for the numbers who attended this very special evening.
'We were overwhelmed by the response,' said chief executive Wendy Baker,

There was a spectacular cabaret performed by ‘The Grumbleweeds’ followed by dancing into the early hours to ‘The Elastic Band’ and guests celebrated this once in a lifetime anniversary in true style.

'We wanted to mark the occasion with both a celebration and an opportunity for the FCA to look back at what has been a extremely busy 60 years since the FCA was first founded and we certainly succeeded in achieving that,' said chairman Ian Frost.
Also in attendance were the Past chairmen of the Association, as well as former members who have now retired.

There was an opportunity for people to renew acquaintances and swap memories, as well as musing over just what the industry will be like during the next 60 years.

The evening got underway with pre-dinner drinks at 6pm followed by an excellent dinner at 7pm. Afterwards top celebrity comedy group 'The Grumbleweeds' took to the stage and there brand of brilliant clean comedy left everyone exhausted with laughter. Then for those who felt energetic enough the super 'Elastic Band' played music to dance to for all tastes.

Yes it truly was “Oh what a night”

Our next Social event is the FCA Charity Golf Day to be held once again, at the prestigious Marriott St. Pierre Golf & County Club Chepstow on Friday 27 June 2003.
