The SNS2024 Gala Dinner, held at the prestigious Norfolk Showground on Wednesday, May 22, was a resounding success.

Just under 400 guests gathered to celebrate the regional energy industry and also support a worthy cause, creating a night to remember.

SNS has become a highlight in the energy sector’s social calendar – and this year's event, compered by EEEGR executive chair Kevin Keable, did not disappoint.

Attendees were treated to an evening of exquisite dining, live entertainment and inspiring speeches from representatives from RWE and NARS (Norfolk Accident Rescue Service), the chosen charity for SNS2024.

The atmosphere was one of camaraderie and jovial spirit, as guests came together to enjoy the festivities and contribute to a noble cause.

One of the evening's highlights was the charity speech, made by Steve Maddams who works as an energy brand specialist for LOCALiQ / Insight Energy and also responds for NARS.

Dinner guests bid enthusiastically for the auction prize of an electric flight with Saxon Air and VIP tickets to the Old Buckenham Airshow, and their generosity contributed significantly to the night’s fundraising efforts.

In total, the gala raised an impressive £3,021 for NARS, Norfolk's dedicated emergency medical charity.

“We are overwhelmed by the support we received at the SNS2024 Gala Dinner,” said Steve Maddams. “The generosity of the attendees and the organisers will make a significant difference in our ability to respond to emergencies and provide vital care. We thank everyone who contributed to making this evening a success.”

EEEGR’s SNS2024 Gala Dinner, sponsored by RWE, once again demonstrated the power of the regional energy sector and the impact of collective efforts.

The organiser EEEGR extends its heartfelt thanks to all guests and sponsors who made the event possible.
