The Gardens Group's "Circle Line" and The Solar Centre's "Underground Rats" scoop the fancy dress prizes at the GCA Associates Night

The London Underground themed Associates Night at the GCA Conference delivered plenty of examples of unique fancy dress by garden centre and supplier teams.

 

The Gardens Group as "The Circle Line" and The Solar Centre as "The Underground Rats" scooped the best fancy dress prizes, as judged by GCA CEO Peter Burks, GIMA Director Vicky Nuttall and GTN Editor Trevor Pfeiffer.

 

From the Northern Line to Grange Hill, underground lines, stations, support staff and travellers were all represented.

 

GTN Xtra's unedited photo gallery from the evening is below.  We will leave it to you to identify the teams and individuals with their London Undergroud theme.

 

As this update gets published, dancing to Fake Tan will continue into the night.  Watch this space for more from conference tomorrow.
