Unfortunately owing to yesterdays appauling weather, the usual finish on Madiera drive had to be cancelled. We drove all the way from Paris in the pouring rain, only to land on UK soil to find more of the same. It made the drive to Brighton extremely tiring and most of the jobbers made their way to their hotels.
Our hotel was the Myhotel in Brighton. It wasn't cheap, but no decent hotel in Brighton, at the weekend, ever is. This hotel, is bright, modern and has a fantastic Cocktail Bar, and i would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere special to stay. Aldo Zilli has a restaurant in the hotel, and although the famous Italian Chef doesn't cook there himself, the menu is scrumptious and very reasonable with mains in the region of £10 to £14. If breakfast was anything to go by (including honemade baked beens and sussex) i wish we were stopping for another night.
We arrived at the Hilton Hotel for the Gala Dinner, where we were greated with Champaign and our finishers medals and certificate. After we were piped in, by Purplepiper (aka Vikki) we had a superb 4 course meal. The Hilton absolutely surpassed previous years' menu with this one.
A few speechies and then onto the presentation of this years awards. Our glasses full, it was then onto the dance floor, and the days arduous drive was totally forgotten.
