It’s getting to that time of year when we need to keep a very clear look-out for new developments, structures and projects which are reaching completion around the town. I am sure all our members will have a fine knowledge of what is going on in their local area. They will have their eye on progress being made in projects which might be of interest to the Society for the awards this year. This years Awards Evening will be on Wednesday 23 November.

We had a grand turnout at last year's celebration at The Hold; I look forward to a similarly successful evening in late November later this year. We are not able to determine yet where the award ceremony will take place but, before that, we need to have entries.

Until the closing date in early September, I will be looking forward to hearing from members about potential nominations for awards for this year.

Any nominations which you might have should be sent to our Hon Sec. by email, or you may contact me directly: my address is in the Newsletter (page 27).

The full specification for the Annual Awards is available on our website if you care to check it prior to contacting us. I look forward to hearing from as many of you as possible, we generally are able to muster between 15 and 20 entries every year, I hope that will be the case this time.

Tony Marsden, Vice Chairman
