Could somebody please post a list of categorys and winners please.

Here are the details:

Pride in Marple Awards
On Wednesday 7 November 2012 the Area Committee held the second ‘Pride in Marple Awards’ in High Lane Village Hall. The Awards Ceremony was an opportunity for the Area Committee Councillors to thank individuals and groups for the excellent work they do in the Marple community which makes Marple such a great place to live and work. The Area Committee was inundated with nominations in all of the categories which made judging extremely difficult and Councillors were extremely grateful to all those people who took the time and effort to nominate someone.

A list of the awards distributed can be viewed below:-

I've asked photographer Mike Frisbee if he will allow his images to be used like last time and Arthur has already asked Sue Ingham for the details of award winners. Subject to these being received, I'll do the same as we did for the 2010 awards on the main site and the Virtual Tour (see first post).

[Mr Marple]

Congrats Arthur! May he continue to do his work to a high standard.

I'm delighted to advise that local photographer Arthur Procter won a "Pride in Marple" Award last night. Arthur's award is for the incredible effort that he has put into recording and supporting local events such as Marple Festival, Marple Carnival, Marple Christmas Cracker and many other local events with his superb photography.

I'm also very pleased to have nominated Arthur and for this to have been endorsed by the other groups that he has helped.

To see Arthur's work go to the Virtual Tour and search for Arthur Procter - every image is credited:

But doesn't he look happy to be in front of the camera for a change!

Number one for this year should be the Friends of Rose Hill station who have succeeded in transforming Rose Hill station by planting and maintaining the flower beds at the station.

Thats a very good shout. It's a much much nicer place to be now.

As winner of the last (2010) "Volunteer of the Year Award" I can vouch that it's great to have your efforts acknowledged, so if you have someone in your local organisation, club or business who goes that extra mile and deserves a few minutes in the lime-light, then please take the time to nominate them for an award this year:

Pride in Marple Awards 2012

The Marple Area Committee wants to celebrate the achievements of the community by recognising the invaluable contribution local people make to their community. There are lots of people who give up their time to make their neighbourhood a better place and the Marple Area Committee wants to celebrate their contribution. Do you know an individual or a group who deserve to be recognised for their hard work and dedication? If so, why not nominate them for a ‘Pride in Marple’ Award. The awards are open to anyone who lives, works or takes part in voluntary activity in Marple, Marple Bridge, Mellor, High Lane, Strines and Compstall.
