A few things from the night:
Highlights:  * have to say the speech of David Mandie's gandson Matthew was sensational, a quality young man  

* Cotch winning obviously  

* Bachar Houli's acceptance speech - class act
* Alex Rance winning the Frances Bourke Award - so totally deserved  
 
* The main course was great  
  
 
The did he say what I think he said moment:* Appreciate it is hard to exclude someone when you are talking about a group but when praising the entire leadership group & talking about "Strong leadership" Dimma having to include Dan Jackson after his numerous brainfades and ill discipline acts was ... well for me at least cringe worthy....sorry
