Leamington Comhaltas celebrates its 25th birthday

With representation from London, Bedfordshire, Coventry, Leicestershire and many other parts of the UK the evening was a great success.

A theme running through the evening and speeches was the strength of the club and the vibrate and very well attended youth classes.
