Best Bognor ABC boxer of the night Lukas Andriunavicius was presented with the Des Porter Trophy, and the Steve Clinton Memorial Cup was presented by Lee Penson to Alfie Winter from the Battlebridge club.

Members of the officiating body, the ABA, said this was the best dinner show for many years.

The net amount raised by Rotary was £7,481 and thanks went to the management and staff of Butlins for all their help and to the organisers, sponsors and supporters for making it a truly memorable evening.
