MGF Register Annual Awards: 2014

[Keith Williams]

The MGF Register's Annual Awards are approaching.

They are on the 22nd March at the Four Pillars Hotel, Abingdon. To book your place at the dinner please book via the online shop http://www.mgfregister.org/shop

We need your help in looking for nominations for some worthy recipients in the following categories:-

Tanswell Trophy for the Member of the year

Priests Trophy for a Significant contribution to the MGF Register

FasTForward Trophy for the best article in FTF during 2013

Brian Griffin Sports Trophy for a person who epitomises sporting endeavour of any type with their F/TF

ICHBABDA Trophy for the person who really could have had a better day !

Best MGF/TF of the year.

Special Awards - for anything not covered in the above !

Please send any nominations or suggestions to the chairman as soon as possible or in any case before the 7th March so we can organise engraving of the trophies in time for the awards dinner.

Any nominations can be voted for by the committee if no obvious winner comes from the nominations but final decisions as to recipients will be made by the Chairman.

You don't have to nominate in all categories, so please forward your nominations to me as soon as you can.

You can find details of previous winners on our website here - MGF Register Awards

So get your thinking caps on and send your nomination (with reasons) to chair@mgfregister.org

[Keith Williams]

Nominations close later this week on the 7th for the awards, so you still have a few days to put any suggestions into me for the winners for 2013.

We can't promise a red carpet for the winners at the Four Pillars at the awards dinner like at the Oscars but hopefully the recipients will enjoy the trophies awarded to them for the next year

[Keith Williams]

Nominations closed and decisions made.

To find out who the lucky recipients are you will have to attend the Awards dinner on the 22nd

If you are still intending to join us for the Awards dinner, it needs to be booked via the online shop by Friday lunch time as we have to pay the hotel for the meals then.

The winners for 2013 are

Photographic competition: Simon Davies

Bit of an unexpected shock to receive an award. Many thanks to everyone who nominated us. Pleased to say the glass trophy made it to Somerset in one piece
