MBS & MLS Xmas Party 2004 - Hickstead Hotel, West Sussex

Cottesmore Golf ClubThis year MBS Software and Maltby Land Surveys had their Christmas Party at Hickstead Hotel. The event was attended by over 70 members of staff and their partners, suppliers and clients.

The day commenced at 9am with breakfast at Cottesmore Golf Club.  The event was a team competition, held in appalling conditions, won convincingly, with a combined score of 94, by the "6ft gimme team!" comprising of David Maltby, Paul Morley and Mike Hopkins.  The individual prize went to Richard Blakesley with a stableford score of 34.Andy Roberts, Phil Gamble, Nathan Roberts, Russell Dean & Steve Maltby


After a well earned afternoon bar session, everyone headed off to the Hotel to prepare for the evening celebrations.  Pre-dinner drinks were held in the bar from 7pm, giving people a chance to catch up on recent events and to discuss the afternoon's golf and those 6ft gimmes!

With most people suitably fuelled, a magnificent dinner was served, followed by a speech by David Maltby (which surprisingly lasted only a matter of minutes!) thanking everyone for a very successful year for both MBS and MLS, and presenting Richard Blakesley with his prize for "Best Individual Golfer".Richard Maltby with Claire Roche & her partner Pete

It was all too much for Steve Maltby who took it upon himself to commence the evening's dancing - everyone else had to wait as it was deemed too dangerous to participate whilst Steve was having his moment!

The evening continued into the early hours with drinks flowing and a good time had by all.  Congratulations to everyone at MBS and MLS for making 2004 such a successful year.
