The Bristol Property Agents Association annual dinner last week was as lively as ever. Out-going president Jayne Rixon got a raucous welcome of cheers and wolf-whistles as she took to the stage at the Thistle Grand.
She counts among her achievements in her year-long presidency making the cycling event the most popular charity fundraiser. It finally overtakes the golf tournament in terms of number of participants. But be warned, those who are planning to participate this year, there are proposals to add a 100-mile route.
Guest speaker TV wildlife presenter and former Royal Marine Monty Hall also went down a storm, with tales of being taken out in a small boat to swim with sharks by a legless guide (and, no, the guide hadn’t been drinking).
The partying went on into the wee small hours, the amount of drink not helping those still scratching their heads trying to work out how the roaming magician had removed their ties without them realising.
