On Wednesday 18 November 2015 at St Peter's by the Waterfront, a record audience was entertained by an illustrated review of two years-worth of nominations for the Ipswich Society Awards with a thoughtful and lively commentary by Bob Allen. It was evident that there has been some movement in the design and construction of buildings and infrastructure in Ipswich since 2013. Conservation consultant, formerly with the Ipswich Borough Council, Bob Kindred gave a short overview of the current state of things and presented the awards to invited guests.
We will include a full review of the winners in our April 2016 issue.
