Speaking on behalf of SFYFC, Ruby Brooker said:"It was a massive team effort to organise the event and we had about 1,000 people on the night, people from all over came, including some from Scotland. "There's always a lot of competition to make it bigger and better than the year before, it went smoothly and I think everyone had a fantastic time.""It was a great chance to have a wide audience and show what we are about here in Shropshire. We already have plans for next year with theme ideas being discussed for the next one."
