Successful Celebration

Broxburn United's Celebrating Success Dinner was an inspirational evening for all who attended.

The first one of its kind was held in the New Almondvale Suite at Livingston FC, where ladies, gentlemen and invited guests, were enterained, educated and inspired by our key-note speaker David Duke and friend of BUSC, Chris Dunning.  Master of Ceremonies Scott Wilson hosted a fantastic night of entertainment.

BUSC highlighted the efforts of the Young Volunteers who serve the Club and Community with many hours of leadership.

The night was concluded with a auction, in which we were able to raise a good amount of money which will be invested into the BUSC Community Programmes.

We would like to thank all those who attend for their valuable support.
