The Annual Awards lunch is an opportunity to get most of our community together in one room. It starts at 11.30am with half an hour of networking. This is followed by a short speech from Nicky and an update from our charity partner. Then we commence the first half of the awards ceremony. We break for a hot buffet lunch and we’ll also be holding a raffle to raise money for the Children’s Air Ambulance. We finish off with the second half of the awards and then finish by 2pm so that members who have commitments can get back for them. 

It’s a really positive and motivating day. Not to be missed! 

You can see highlights of the 2024 event here.

Some of our members arrive earlier (around 10am) to take advantage of some extra networking! 

Members are nominated for  some of the awards by Group Leaders. If you think someone should be nominated speak to your Group Leader or contact the Admin team.

Venue, Group, Group Leader and Member of the Year are chosen by annual data. But members can put a good word in for their Group Leader!

Best Newcomer, Most Transformed, GC Ambassador, #WorkingTogether and Networking Master awards are judged by a selection of independent judges. You can find out more about them here.
