Hastings Achievers Award - December 2012

The Friends were recently thrilled for a second year running to receive "The Environment Award" sponsored by Southern Water as part of the Hastings Achievers Awards 2012. These awards, sponsored by the local Observer group of newspapers, "celebrate personal achievements by local people" and individuals and groups are nominated to receive them.

Our chairman, Andrew Blackman, received the certificate on behalf of the Friends at the award ceremony held at South Coast College. He warmly thanked the Friends' committee for their tireless work in promoting and protecting the Country Park Nature Reserve and stressed that without the support of all the Friends we couldn't begin to achieve all we do.
