The second Crossways Community Awards were
held on the 30th April 2015 in Crossways Village Hall. The Awards
were to recognize the ‘unsung heroes’ and say thank you to those people and
groups that have made an outstanding contribution to community life in
Crossways. It was also the first year that a business had been nominated and
won an Award – the business being Habitat
First Group.
Crossways Parish Council Chairman, Cllr
Andrew Brewer, presented each winner with a framed certificate marking their
achievement.
Citations were read out for each winner and as District Councillor Peter
Stein, Chair of the Judging Panel, said “ I was privileged
to chair a panel of Councillors to decide those who were to receive recognition
at the awards evening. The awards are for outstanding contributions to the life
of the Crossways Community by people and groups who were providing a service or
just quietly helping others. There are many others out there and we hope they
too will be nominated for an award next year. Whether their contribution is
quiet or conspicuous, it is so important that people are recognised and shown
our appreciation"
Those receiving certificates were the
Crossways Pantomimers, John Manuel, Don Shaw, Sandra Sewell, Suzanne Shaw,
Colin Shaw, Roy Dean, Anthony Cooke, Rick Penberthy, Malcolm Jakes and Habitat
First Group.
Unfortunately Tony Walton was not able to
attend the presentations and arrangements have been made for him to receive his
Award.
Thanks go to Paul Brewer for taking the
photographs.
