Annual Awards Ceremony 2021
After the disappointment at having to cancel last year’s event we were thrilled to be able to hold the 2021 Annual Awards Ceremony once again this year. It was held in the Livery Hall at the London Guildhall and once again we would very much like to thank the Chief Commoner, Mr Brian Mooney and the Remembrancer’s office for allowing us to use this fantastic space.
This year 25 out of the 27 schools attended, and the awards were presented by our President Mr Alan Titchmarsh and the Peter Waine the Master of the Worshipful Company of Gardener’s.
Special thanks Mr Butler for the bulb planting demonstration and Mrs Webb for organising activities for the children.
