Melbourne University Athletics Club’s finest descended on The Metropolitan Hotel on Saturday 11th of May to celebrate the year in athletics at the 2013 MUAC Annual Dinner.  Athletes traded their standard training attire for dinner suits and cocktail dresses and enjoyed a pleasant evening of dinner, drinks and some dancing afterwards.  MUAC’s best were honoured with awards for their fine performances and work over the previous twelve months.  Celebrations progressed from The Metropolitan to some of Fitzroy’s finest dancing establishments until the early hours of Sunday morning.
