Chesham Mayoral awards
Posted by Julie Voyce on April 11, 2008 2:29 PM
THIS year the Examiner is again supporting the Chesham Mayoral Awards. The annual awards allow people in Chesham to nominate who they thinks should win the youth award, business award and people's award. On Wednesday evening a group of us got together at the Town Hall to go through the nominations and pick the winners.
It is a ridiculously difficult task, but I think we have chosen the right winner. These are due to be announced in May and will obviously be featured in the paper the winners are notified. Sadly Chesham Mayor Merrin Molesworth called for the awards to be scrapped, but she was over-ruled and the awards will be back next year. I think she felt it was a lot of work organising the nominations and encouraging people to enter.
I believe it is good for Chesham that we have something like this and I just hope it continues to grow each year, I think this is only the third time the awards have been held. Year on year there have been more nominations as people get to hear about them.
Amersham was so impressed by Chesham's effort that they are holding their first Mayoral awards this year, which the Amersham Examiner is sponsoring. The winners of those are due to be announced on May Day.
