But he set the tone


The start of being paid out for about an hour …


Owen set the bar high with an excellent speech


Loved it!


Mum followed thru in great fashion


The crowd enthralled


Andrew promised a short speech and then rained down on me for what felt a long time


… but was pretty damn funny


We did our best to respond

Cake time


Time to cut the …… hey???

But we enjoyed it regardless


Then it was open floor


Owen leading the charge
