Before you start.. you may want to read my post-ceremony note.
Today was not an average Friday. It was a day that I will remember for a very long time. Some of you may have heard that we had some extra funds to play with due to the success of the ceremony. The original plan was to put it back in the pot and it would end up getting put towards the Pride of Central Somerset...
Post-Ceremony: Haliwards

Ah the morning after. Some would say it’s not the best time to write a follow up post to an event but that’s what I’m doing, so if parts don’t make sense, that’s because I’m tired! Where to begin.. Well we kicked off shortly after 7:30. Surprisingly there were a handful of free seats due to some organisations buying large numbers and then not using them, but it...

I never thought this day would come, but it has.. or nearly has. The Haliwards Ceremony is tomorrow night at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. It’s been a rollercoaster project that has seen its fair share of ups and downs, but I am pleased to say that we can see the home stretch and everything is looking good.
Now that we are only hours away it’s time for me to share...

The Haliwards
It seemed appropriate to share the Haliwards award design in my final post celebrating 5 years of awards. The photograph above was taken moments ago and shows you one of our seven awards in all its glory. We are very pleased with the final design. Special thanks to everyone who contributed on our journey from the prototype.
The Haliwards is my first standalone...
Five Years of Awards [2/3]

Five years is a long time.. though I think we made more progress in 5 months than we did in 5 years. The Pride of Central Somerset raised the bar for local award ceremonies. Today I wanted to share with you some thoughts from some of the team who worked on the POCS 2009.
