 Heather Littlejohn and Graham Whittle were also big winners on the evening as they wowed the judges to win Best Dressed Couple and walked away with a pair of his and hers luxury Claude Bernard Swiss watches courtesy of JV Watchmakers of Hamilton as well as pink champagne courtesy of Batley’s Cash & Carry.

Early indications are that we’ve raised a fantastic amount of money for the charity and we would like to thank our wonderful guests for being so generous on the night.  There are plenty more fantastic events to come this season at Hamilton Park Racecourse so I would urge people to take advantage of our discounted tickets online now.”
