Last month we learned that we'd been nominated for the Spirit of Sherwood award for Services to the Community. This is an annual event organised by Sherwood, Carrington and Mapperley Park Neighbourhood Watch, to foster community spirit. It was great to be nominated, although none of us expected to win, as we were up against some extremely good groups. A few of us met up at the Crimson Tree for the awards on Tuesday 23rd July, together with all the other worthy nominees from the area. When the winner was announced, we were amazed to hear our name read out! Pauline our chair was unfortunately not there for the announcement, which was met with a lot of noise from our corner. Frances, Anna and Lindsey accepted the award, and we said a few words of thanks to everyone who voted for us (which can be seen towards the end of the live film of the event, on the SCAMP Facebook page), and when Pauline arrived we had more photos taken. It was a great evening for everyone, and we went home feeling really happy that our event had been been celebrated. The photos are of Pauline, Frances and Lindsey, and the happy little group in the corner .. with Kathy, Pamela, Barbara and Chrissie. A million thanks to everyone who helped us, and especially to everyone who came on the day. Till next time!

Sherwood Open Gardens has officially handed over the money raised from the event on 8th June to Heather Slater from Stonebridge City Farm and Tori Howard from Framework. Pauline and I were happy to present them with their cheques, and they asked us to pass on their thanks for all the hard work. They both live in Sherwood, so it was a local affair for them! |
