Invitation to the Garden Party at Buckingham Palace
for those who excelled in British sports.
In 1992 the team was invited to a Royal garden party at Buckingham Palace !
What follows are memorabilia from that event kindly given to us by Gill Eke

“In the above photograph this Gentleman certainly deserves a special mention.
He was our coach driver, Ernie Tonkyn, who always drove us to all the competitions.
He helped us with our luggage and costumes and was there to support us when we danced.
He was truly a great guy and I would love to acknowledge him.”
