Award Presentations 2008

The next Presentation will be held on Monday 10th November 2008 and will be at the Cutler's Hall on Church Street opposite the Cathedral. Numbers at all presentations are limited, we will do our best to include everyone. To be included in this event we need to have all details of completed Bronze and Silver Awards by Friday 3rd October 2008 and Gold Awards by Friday 19th September 2008.

Before you send us the Record Book please make sure that each section shows what you did, when exactly you did it and who acted as Assessor. Also make sure that each activity lasted for the time set down. Three months does mean three FULL months for example Jan 12th to April 12th counts as three full months.

Past Award Presentations

Yorkshire Opera Singer and television personality Lesley Garrett, CBE, brought a touch of glamour to the Award Ceremony in Sheffield on Tuesday March 18th. Lesley was joined by the Lord Mayor,of Sheffield, Councillor Arthur Dunworth in presenting the Awards at the Cutlers' Hall in Sheffield.

An audience of more than 350 people attended the event of which over 100 of these were young people collecting their Awards. The evening concluded with Lesley paying tribute to the young people who had achieved their Awards. She then proceeded to sing 'Climb Every Mountain' which was awe inspiring!

Lesley posed for photos and signed autographs for the young people. Her contribution to the evening was special and memorable for all who attended.

Award Checker

Please use this to notify the Award Centre if you change an activity or choose one for the first time. This way you will get written confirmation that your activity can count towards your Award and your Award Leader will be told about the change of activity. If you change any one activity you will need to fill in the details of all of the activities that will make up your Award but that doesn't take very long.

Award Completions Evenings or How to sort out YOUR Award.

Do you want help finishing off an Award? Does your Award need its MOT test? The Centre will be open for three special evenings a year so that we can help you to sort out how to convert a partially signed Book into a completed Award (assuming that you have done all of the activities). Bring in your Record Book anytime between 3.30pm and 7.00pm and we will sort it all out! The dates are Tuesday November 13th 2007 and Tuesday February 5th and Tuesday May 13th 2008.
