TIDWORTH COMMUNITY AREA AWARDS 2005: ‘RECOGNISING

ENDEAVOUR’

Mr John Bush will present a series of certificates and trophies for every nomination put forward, in addition, shields are awarded to groups and individuals who have provided the most contribution. "I don't think there is anything like this in the County and would be thrilled to  to present the awards again," Said Mr Bush following last years event. 

The scheme was originally 'Tidworth Community Challenge', which ran for eight years.  However, after its re-launch in 2004 as the Community Area Awards it now aims to recognise groups and individuals from across the community area who give their time to benefit the community. 

Organiser, Tidworth Development Trust's Community Development worker, Hilary Hollinsworth said: "These awards are very important and recognise how much really does go on in the communities.  We have receieved many nominations, which shows just how much good is going on, however there is still room for more and I am happy to receive further nominations up to a week prior to the event."
