Happy Christmas to our producer, Mike Summers, the presenters and friends of Raiders Broadcast. y Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and have a 'Rockin' 2016.

Another fantastic Christmas party.  The 2015 Raiders Christmas bash was at the Exhibit in Balham. The staff were fantastic, the food was super - there was something for every palate - and the gasses were filled, and filled, and filled again, with delicious wine.
