The Smoke Radio Awards took place at the Comfort Hotel in Harrow where myself, Ross, Steve, Tudor and Ricky rushed from the studios to in the pouring rain. The turn out was superb with third year students including Melanie Spence, Sam Gregory (who had a bit of an obsession for my blue tie), Hari, and even Sophie Pringle from Smoke Signal made an appearance. Everyone was dressed in superb clothing, the most notable being Julia Lyubova's bright red dress and Adam from Shuffle's loud shirt and tie.
The meal we had before the awards went down well although it was quite a while before things got underway. Winning the trophies were Steve Jones, Goodlass and Marshall, Andy B, Julia, and Josie. There were also gold certificates for less serious awards which I won three of for best specialist show, hardest working person, and rather bizzarely, best dance moves. There were also audio contributions from Tim Pryor and Kim Moore and other absentees were acknowledged in nominations such as Fabian, and Ali O'Boyle who played a very important part in helping me get to know the radio students in the first semester. However at the end of the day you've got to be there to win!
Our original plan was to head to 'Petri' a bar in Harrow but the surprised reaction from senior radio lecturer Matthew Linfoot suggested that we should go elsewhere. The Fat Controller was our chosen destination where Tudor felt the need to record my drunk dancing on his camcorder and Matthew felt the need to join in with 'Shout' by Lulu when the song started playing! All of us were there until around closing time when Josie demanded everyone to head to Flat 10 for yet another flat party.
Looking back on the night I never thought we would get the entire radio team rat arsed at the end of a superb week of effort and entertainment! Seriously though everyone has put a lot of effort into the last five days and hopefully the same will be done in Fresher's Week in September.
