Saturday the 8th November 2008 was the date for the Pride of Place Awards Ceremony in Cappoquin, Co. Waterford. Although only two members of the Committee could attend the Awards function, 18 people in total travelled to Cappoquin for the event.
We were entered in Category Nine, the Environment Category, when this Category was announced we were delighted to discover that we were one of six Short listed for the Award, we were not called out as 1st or 2nd Runner-Up so while disappointed for a few seconds realization quickly dawned that we were actually now in with a 1 in 4 chance of winning the Award.
There was a break in proceedings after the presentation of the Runner-Up Awards for each category. This was shortly followed by the arrival of the President; Mary McAleese. The presentation of prizes recommenced after this and it was a very anxious wait for Category Nine, the first few words gave nothing away but then as they continued to speak of the Winning Entry we discovered to much delight that we had in fact achieved our aim in winning this Award.
We were delighted to receive the Award from President Mary McAleese.
This was quickly followed by calls and texts to all the supporters just as anxiously awaiting the news in Cappoquin and Kerry. I need not tell you we did celebrate.
Upon our return to Bonane Sunday afternoon we were welcomed by a large crowd of well wishers.
Congratulations and thanks to everyone who helped to get us here.
