GTSSC Dinner Dance and Awards
(09/10/05)

Rather earlier than usual, GTSSC held their dinner dance last night at Firhill, an event attended by 6 of the 7 current team and two of the three promoters.

As suspected with the uncertainty over team building limits for next season, there were no signings announced at the Dance this year.

The rider awards ended up being split between three riders. Predictably, Shane Parker won the Home Rider of the Year of the Year award and also the Highest Points scorer, both by significant margins.

The Away Rider of the Year award was apparently a close fought contest, George Stancl being declared the winner.

The final award of the night, the most bonus points scored, was decided in the final meeting of the season with James Cockle clinching it.

The riders present were all presented with a small memento of this season from the GTSSC as were the Promoters. Alan Dick and Gordon Pairman were in attendance and gave short speeches (see separate story) but on the whole the event seemed a lot more low key than last year.

Well done to the committee of the GTSSC who obviously put a lot of hard work into providing a good night for the fans.
