“And the Oskar goes to...”

We wrote about the lead up to the Newmarket Oskars in our last issue. Well, the big night finally arrived and what a night it was. Held in the Clayton Hotel Silver Springs, the esteemed four judges: actors Don Wycherley and Michael Patrick, former rugby player Mick Galwey and sportsperson Brid Stack had the difficult task of picking the winners. But, pick them they did, and you can see them here. Well done to everyone involved for pulling off a unique event.
