Top 5 Highlights from our 30th Anniversary Ball

13 Dec 2021 PYA

Wow, what a great evening... We thank everyone who helped make this year’s PYA 30th Anniversary Ball, a roaring success.

There were so many fantastic moments. We would love to share a few highlights with you:

		1. Surprise, surprise... We introduced new features, including our PYA Award for Significant Service to the Community, presented this year to Alison Houghton.

		2. Have your say... Guests took part in an interview-style Q&A, where Lucy Medd (Burgess) and Yann Pratt (BWA) shared their views on the key drivers for the yachting industry of the future.

		3. Heated competition... Our yachting knowledge was tested in ourice-breaker and the team who suggested the most creative yacht name won a Jéroboam of champagne.

		4. The prize was right... People walked away with the latest gadgets and luxury gifts during our raffle.

		5. Dancing the night away... The band was nothing short of amazing and the entire room was singing and dancing.

We were all pleased to be together again and we look forward to seeing you at one of the many PYA events planned for the next year.
