Faye Weatherup from West Fife YFC received the trophy for Best Act out with the winning team with her portrayal of “Charlie’s Granny” with Fraser Dandie from Forfar JAC claiming the Best Comedy act certificate for strutting his stuff on stage as “The Forfar Vet”.

Closing the evening with an act from their most recent concert was East Kilbride YFC with their EK Bulldogs Dance Troupe and Katrina and Craig from Aberfeldy and District JAC who sang and Both acts certainly kept our audience entertained while our judges were busy finalising the results.

Our thanks must also go The Perth Concert Hall staff, raffle donators, audience, East Region district stewards for all their assistance and of course the seven outstanding acts which entertained us all through the evening. A huge thank you is also extended to Scotmin Nutrition for supporting the event, by providing excellent support and presenting winners with their prizes on the evening.
