A Spectacular Response

Thank you all for your spectacular response to the YDA this year!

While we’re bursting with pride by your reaction – we’ve had the best year ever for number of entries – it now looks like our beach venue might burst at the seams with the numbers on our guest list.  We know why of course!  Drinks will be poured, the sea will lap, yummy food will be scoffed and our 2015 winners will be announced! Yaaaay. More bubbly please.

RSVP is essential but please be warned we only have limited capacity so the earlier you come, the better!

Meanwhile, keep your eyes peeled for the YDA shortlist which will be announced online later this week.
