One week on from our SUT 60th Anniversary Dinner in Aberdeen, and we're still reflecting on what a special evening it was.
For the SUT team, seeing so many members, colleagues, friends and supporters come together at Union Kirk meant a great deal.
One of the proudest moments was seeing over £5,000 raised for our two chosen charities, Greyhope Bay and Dogs Trust. 💙
We're incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed, bought raffle tickets and generously donated prizes.
We were also fortunate to hear from some fantastic speakers. Dr. Diva Amon took us on a fascinating journey into the deep ocean, sharing extraordinary discoveries and reminding us why exploring, understanding and protecting our oceans matters so much.
And what a pleasure it was to welcome the impROVise students from Keith Grammar School, who shared their experiences competing in the MATE ROV World Championship. Seeing their enthusiasm, creativity and confidence was a real highlight and a reminder of why supporting the next generation is so important to SUT.
Of course, an evening like this takes an enormous amount of work behind the scenes.
A particularly heartfelt thank you to our very own Clare Parisi, whose dedication, organisation and hard work were instrumental in bringing the celebration together, and to the wider SUT team for everything that went into making the night possible.
A special shoutout also goes to Chris Wallace, whose support and fantastic job as compère helped make the evening such a success.
We're equally grateful to our sponsors Imenco Future Technologies, Viper Innovations Ltd Innovations and Ashtead Technology, and to everyone who contributed to the evening.
Most of all, thank you to every single person who joined us. Having our members together to celebrate this milestone was what made the night truly memorable.
Here's to 60 years of SUT, the community we've built together, and everything still to come. 🌊
