For the
benefit of our regular readers who have been joining the NCVs in crossing their
fingers all week .....
It worked - we
were successful!! The NCVs are now the proud owners of a Harrogate Volunteering Oscar (Wildlife category).
A number of
members attended the ceremony on Friday 28th October, at the Old Swan
Hotel in Harrogate, to hear whether or not they had been awarded one of the
trophies. Everyone was surprised to find out that they had been nominated for no fewer than four categories rather than the two they had thought:
- an Environment Oscar
- a Wildlife Oscar
Additionally:
- an Unsung Heroes Oscar
- an Organisation Oscar
They were as pleased as
could be when the group’s name was read out as the winners of the Wildlife Award and filled the stage when called on to collect the trophy.
The statuette
The certificate
Some of the NCVs who walked the red carpet.
The statuette
is going to take pride of place in the volunteers’ workshop at Bewerley,
amongst the spades, hammers and wheelbarrows. The certificate will probably go on
display at the Council Chambers in Pateley Bridge.
