Award ceremony photography tips

Anyone got any tips for this type of photography? I've not done anything like this before so any help is much appreciated.

I'll be using a Nikon D5000 by the way.

A bit more info would be helpful. Where is being held, ie type of venue/lighting etc. How many people etc.....

Its at the Gilgamesh Studios - http://www.venuesoflondon.co.uk/Gilgamesh_Studios....

Not sure how many people in total but im going to be mainly photographing one group of around 10 people.

ETA It will be held between 19:00 and 22:00 so may be some natural light getting in there in the earlier hours

Don't worry it's nothing too formal, and I'm not being hired to do it. I'm just going along to take some snaps of my girlfriends mums company as a favour...not really photographing the event as such. I just wanted to know if there was any secret photographer tips or settings I should use to get the most out of the camera in these conditions
