Downham Market Sports Awards

David's first taste of hosting a large event came in October 2012 when he compered the Downham Market Sports Awards in front of 200 people at a packed out Downham Market Town Hall. 

The event was held after an incredible year of sport and provided an excellent opportunity to publicly celebrate the dedicated individuals who do so much for local sport in the area.

"We wanted to produce a really professional event which included having someone on the night to lead and host the event.  David volunteered to do this role and was fantastic.  He has very professional from start to finish. Confident in how he addressed the audience as well as those being nominated and well prepared in terms of dealing with the winners and those presenting the awards.  Any little hiccups he moved over quickly.  For example we had a problem with the music to start with but David improvised until this was sorted and actually gave me confidence that this was not a problem, which it wasn't. I would not hesitate in recommending him for future events." Frances Rayner, event orgainser
