Once again the Oakworth Club Dinner was an event to look forward, serving two purposes - firstly to have a really good night out together with some good food and drink. Secondly its the club's chance to say thank you to a lot of people for their hard work and of course to hand out some prizes. In addition to the usual batting, bowling, fielding, etc we also have other prizes, see below. This year the event was again staged at KRUFC and was held on Friday 16th November 2007.
