THE PRIDE OF SOUTH HOLLAND AWARDS 2016

 

Saturday 18th June saw the South Holland Centre host the award ceremony for the second year. The Spalding and South Holland Voice teamed up again with Tulip Radio to show recognition to people in our community who go above and beyond.

Andy attended the ceremony to present the awards in the category Molsom & Associates Optometrists sponsored "Young achiever of the Year".  The winner of Young Achiever went to Liberty Studd, who was nominated by her head of year for being a caring and compassionate student and being the most polite student he has ever taught!. Evie Ireland came second for her fabulous donation to the Princess trust, not only did she donate her hair but raised £1000 in the process. Luke Elliot came in 3rd for his dedication and commitment to his swimming club.

Guest star Andy Whyment, Kirk Sutherland from Coronation Street, was there to hand out awards in all the categories. Hosted by Jan Whitbourn and Chris Carter from Tulip Radio there was also entertainment from local dance groups.

MP for South Holland and the Deepings, John Hayes and his wife Susan announced the winner of Tulip Radio's competition to design a canvas to show a year from the Queen's life. Although St John's Church won this, Andy had a nice surprise as Mr and Mrs Hayes invited him to the stage and handed him a certificate for the Molsom entry! A highly commended certificate for the design of the canvas which incorporated the year of 1998 in glasses.
