GREEN SPACES VOLUNTEER AWARDS




On Tuesday 2nd June 2009 FoPP were represented at the annual Dudley Volunteer awards ceremony held in Dudley Council house.
Almost all of the 33 Friends Groups were present and our display board and leaflets (thanks Mike) shown prior to the formal proceedings raised much interest. However the climax of the meeting was the presentations of the awards which were anticipated with as much suspense as the final of Britains got Talent.
Imagine our surprise and delight when not only did our Thelma win “The Womble Award (Litter Picker Extraordinaire )” but Mike Hessey made it a double by winning “The Best Friends Website (Use of IT to promote a group)".
Congratulations to both for continuing to promote the name of FoPP to a much wider audience.
Our picture shows The Worshipful the Mayor, Councillor Pat Martin, visiting our display.
