The Superstars gathered on Thursday 14 November 2024, to celebrate an enjoyable (if rather lacking wins) season at the glamorous location of the Windsor Castle in Victoria.

Chairman Matthew Conway then gave a fautless speech, quickly afterwards the awards were presented with our captain Paul Gaught-Allen joined Matthew on stage in the roles of Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox.
