Pics: Sharks in the room at the BPAA annual dinner

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

The Bristol Property Agents Association dinner was as lively as ever last night. Out-going president Jayne Rixon (the first woman president in the association's history) 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. Be warned, those who participate, there are plans to add a 100 mile route this year.

Guest speaker 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 I don't mean they'd 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. Neither did it help those coming up with snazzy marketing straplines for their buildings. 'Bristol's best tertiary space' was a personal favourite I heard from one enthusiastic landlord, probably not a winner in the cold light of day though.
