The Pride of Shropshire Awards 2011
Tuesday 25th January 2011, 11:36AM GMT.
The search has begun for the “Pride of Shropshire” . . . people, communities or organisations who go the extra mile, without seeking reward, to make the county proud.
The Shropshire Star is running the awards for a fourth year, in conjunction with Shropshire Council, dairy giant Muller and a host of other local sponsors.
One overall champion will be crowned at a ceremony at Shrewsbury Town football club’s stadium this summer, along with nine category winners.
Judges are seeking to recognise courage, good neighbours, environmental projects, special young people, community groups, learners, carers, new business ideas, and those living healthy lives.
Who will follow on from last year’s Pride of Shropshire champ Chris Breakwell, from Burford near Ludlow? Or previous winners such as Shrewsbury’s Meole’s Got Talent group and star learner Teina McGarry, from Whitchurch?
Shropshire Council leader Keith Barrow said: “This year, more than ever, we want to recognise people who give up their time to care for others, run community groups and simply consider others before themselves.
He added: “These awards are about recognising and celebrating their contributions and thanking those who are often least likely to seek out the limelight, but without whom the quality of life in Shropshire would be that much lower.”
