The evening of Wednesday 30th July saw the Warriors Club hold both their AGM and their Annual Awards Evening.

For the first time this event took place in the sumptuous surroundings of the Telford Suite at the Whitehouse Hotel. Whitehouse Manager Phil Walker had kindly made their facilities available to the Club for the evening to demonstrate his support for what it has achieved with players across the whole age range and for their on-going plans to develop high-quality competitive basketball within Telford and Wrekin and Shropshire as a whole.
