esCarpade 2017 - Day 7 - Dinner and Awards Night

The 2017 esCarpade final dinner and awards night was set down to be in the Cathedral Centre...  Google lied to the boys about the exact location, but they found the Cathedral...


And the centre was right next door!!


Posing with Giggle for a photo...


Rock and Roll!!


The crowd found their seats...


Adam looked less than enthused, while Damian was stoked to have a glass of Shiraz!!


Susan doing some official speechiness...


The boys received their thank you certificates for raising $8340.01!!


Graham aka Bender, and Dylan from Car 808 (Purple People Eater)...


Kylea Tink, the CEO of Camp Quality got up to do a speech...


It was emotional, but good...


And then the fundraising total as at 28 October was announced - $1,225,854!!  The top fundraising team contributed over $348000, and there was a late donation of $20K to add to their total (and the overall total) on top of this!!


And last but not least, the 2018 esCarpade route was announced...  Bathurst to Goulburn, via Lightning Ridge...  The boys had better get used to the idea of a long trip both to and from esCarpade in 2018!!


With all said and done, all that was left was for everyone to say their good byes and drift off into the night...  With a two hour drive to get home in the morning, the boys were happy that (for once) they were one of the teams with a very short drive!!  2018 will be a very different matter...

Thanks for all the messages of support and to all the regular readers of the blog...  Retro Rock-It should be back in 2018 bigger and better than ever!!
