These annual awards give recognition to appropriate developments in our area,
and are presented at our AGM, usually held in late October/ early November.
There we display relevant photographs together with the citations.
We are concerned only with those aspects of a development that enhance amenity for the general public. Thus the awards may recognise good facades, walls, or gardens, but do not refer to interiors. If there are any local developments, repairs, renovations etc. (however major, however minor) that you think deserve such an award, please telephone or write to Gill Penrose or any member of the Committee (See Contacts page).
Likewise if you come across any particularly deplorable development in our area, please let us know; we may bring forward to the AGM a candidate for the Wooden Spoon award, and ask for a vote there on whether it should be ‘awarded’.
All nominations for Gold Star or Wooden Spoon awards are carefully considered. We normally make four awards, and several interested members of the Society usually join members of the Committee to participate in the selection procedure. This "walkabout" to view all the nominations takes place in August, and recommendations are taken to a vote at the September meeting of the Committee.
