What a fantastic weekend. Despite the best attempts of the Icelandic volcano ( I won't bother with the name) the Optician Awards was a roaring success.

Here is one happy geust, Dr Scott Mackie, the professional services director of Optical Express, meeting the celebrity host, Marcus Brigstocke, who went down a storm.
Fifteen trophies were handed out in all.
All of the photos from the night are being loaded onto the Optician Space social networking site for viewing and downloading.
Optician editor can breath a sigh of relief and relaxed for a few weeks before the Awards machines gets ready for 2011 and Optrafair. See you in Birmingham.
