The awards were based on points that the Members had gained at Maelor EC and Julia Lloyd was the lady to collate this information. Julia Lloyd and Stephen Hughes are the Resident Judges at Maelor and very much part of the Team. The Evening started with a Presentation of Awards, a buffet, followed by lots of dancing. The venue looked amazing thanks to Annie Lloyd, with pictures of all the regular competitors and some funny images of the Maelor Team on a PowerPoint Presentation on the big screen, this was on continuously during the Welcome Speech by Joanna Lloyd-Aylett and Presentation of Awards.

Kelly then presented a bouquet of flowers to Joanna Lloyd-Aylett, Danielle Hughes and Beccy Worrall on behalf of all the competitors, an extremely touching gesture.
