BRAVO

For the Queen's Award bestowed on the best thing which ever happenend to our town and which I was so pleased to see when I went for a quick lunch there today, it read:-

To all Customers: on the 2nd June 2014 an announcement from Buckingham Palace confirmed the Festival Drayton Centre here as a recipient of the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.

The Citation of this award read: Creating quality of life enhancing opportunities for the whole community and beyond by providing multi-purpose facilities including cinema, theatre, spaces for meetings, leisure and learning, exhibition gallery and coffee shop .

I couldn't be more delighted for the bunch of individuals who have made our Centre so wonderfull and have now been rewarded for all their hard work and ingenuity. I was in the coffee shop at lunchtime and went upstairs to the exhibition gallery where I saw a wonderful display of art done in mixed media by Dorothea Paradidos.
