I am writing to thank you very much for the unforgettable impact that Rockaoke had at the England & Wales Cricket Board Christmas Party.  Our particular highlights included:

·        Mike Gatting and the leadership team singing: We Are Champions – I think you forced them into that to celebrate the year in which England became the number 1 Test ranked side in the world – highly amusing for the rest of the company.

·        The transformational effect on Chris Higgo, the man you awarded best performance, from a quiet fellow in IT to strutting Rock God.

·        The X-factor moment when Commercial Department PA Sarah Francis brought the house down with Valerie, winning best singer.

·        And everyone in the company with their arms around each other singing Sweet Child of Mine to close the night.

It really was a sensational night and has been the topic of conversation in the office since – unanimously agreed as the best ECB staff event in my 10 years here.  Also, thank you so much for the price you gave your favourite sport which can barely have covered your costs.  Until next time, ROCK ON.
