The Superstars gathered on Thursday 13 November 2025, to celebrate an enjoyable (if rather lacking wins) season at the glamorous location of the Windsor Castle in Victoria.
Firstly, as is traditional, the players studied the 2025 stats and the career stats Some of it was rather worrying! But Konrad was commended for his efforts again.
With Chairman and inspiration Matthew Conway missing it was down to captain Paul Gaught-Allen to read an inspirational speech that may or may not have actually been written by AI. Quickly afterwards the awards were presented by our captain Paul Gaught-Allen, clearly rehearsing for the inevitable role hosting Strictly Come Dancing now the gig is available. The usual long list of awards were presented, reflecting the highs and lows of the Superstars' 2025 season. Our headline award was-
