On Friday 9th October OTARS celebrated it's 10th anniversary at Romsey Golf Club.
When it came to the planning the event , OTARS members had a lot of input and then got what they wanted, balloons, a singer and drinks upon arrival all to be followed up by a BBQ.
All the members and staff had a fantastic time, they even saw some old friends such as Mervyn and Maxine, who are no longer active OTARS members.
Finally, we would like to offer sincere thanks to all the staff and volunteers that helped set the evening up and contributed to such a fantastic time on the night.

The Bridge Party
The Welcome Back Party this year was held once again in the hospitable surrounds of "The Bridge" at Woolston with our fantastic hosts John and Mandy. All our athletes from Bath attended along with family, friends and supporters for a night of fun and feasting.
The night got off to a spectacular start, our athletes arrived with style, in a limo with music blaring and champagne as it disgorged its beaming contents to start a celebration of achievement.
The music came from Nick Burnett, with his "Storm" Disco providing plenty of opportunities for the dancers to show off. Whereas those of a more sedentary metabolism looked forward to a fantastic spread prepared by Mr Martin Shepard, who kindly donated both his time and effort, we should also thank Toby Carveries for the kind use of their facilities and the sausages they donated.
Thanks to, must go to Balloons R Us and Portsmouth Hardware and Pet Supplies for their support and donations, along with "Sweet Pea" the florists for all their help.
It was a superb evening and a great way of saying "well done and thank -you" to each and every one of the athletes,who have put in so much effort to achieve their goals.
Once again thank-you to each and everyone who helped make this the success it was.

Quiz night 28th June 2013
OTARS first ever quiz night was a great success, with everyone having a great time as the 5 teams competed for the gold medal !! 6 rounds of questions, along with 2 table top rounds kept everyone's brain busy as they stormed their way through Nature, Dogs and Current Affairs before tackling the Olympics, Entertainment and "In Which Year", it all went down to the two table top Questions on Plants and Animals giving us "Wings" as our final winners squeezing out "Dum Dears", "Airheads", "Saints Alive" and the aptly named "Desperados".
With all the money pooled from the raffle, hot dogs and drinks we managed to raise in total £ 239.53 which will go towards the Special Olympics in Bath this year.
In fact everything went so well, we are planning to hold another Quiz night later this year, probably late Nov/Dec.
We along with others would like to thank all those who gave up their time and effort to make this event such a success.
Special thanks must go to "Coriander Lounge" "Seacity Museum and Annie's Tea Room" who kindly donated the prizes
