I’m a TREEKLED Baxterbear from worldofbaxterbear.com, after enjoying another Black Tie Awards Dinner this time in Glasgow.
I was invited to the SPAA Awards dinner in November to help celebrate all that is good with the travel trade in Scotland and to assist in helping CHAS. I met the President of the SPAA, Mr Jimmy Martin, and Tour Operators, Airlines, Cruise companies and travel agents. As always many photo’s were taken and here are a few from the collection. I was honoured to be asked to draw the 2 prizes for the evening for Emirates and Amadeus. Congratulations to all who won prizes and Awards see below.
