Last night (6th May, 2008) the Digital Camera Warehouse Sydney staff attended the 2008 Canterbury Local Business Awards presentation dinner at Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL Club. Everyone was most anxious waiting for the nominated category (Specialised Business) to be announced.

One by one the ten finalists in the Specialised Business category were read out. The winner was finally read out “Digital Camera Warehouse”…. the whole table cheered and whooped for joy as everyone clambered up on stage to get their photo taken.

The party didn’t really start until drinks after the presentation had been officially wrapped up by the MC.
