Over 30 worthy winners received certificates and a small gift from the Leader of the Council Councillor Denise Hyland, who was joined by Mayor of Royal Greenwich Councillor Olu Babatola. The fifth annual awards ceremony, which was held at Woolwich Town Hall last night (24 March), was hosted by Chief Executive John Comber and included a performance from the Woolwich Singers. The leaders of the Greenwich Volunteer Police Cadets - Ugur Celikbilek, Kieren Gentleman, Karen Stapley, Amanda Wixon, Andrew Wixon and Mike Price – were among eight winners in the community category in recognition of them giving up countless weekends and evenings to run the unit. Pastor Michael Olawore, of the New Wine Church, received the award for the organisation’s activities and initiatives which support the local community and beyond and Surinder Kaur Virdee, of the Guru Nanak Bhai Lalo Khalsa School, was recognised for creating a fully inclusive school. Louisa Le Marchand was awarded for her work with Global Fusion, Penny Rockall was recognised for volunteering with Charlton Athletic Community Trust and Agnes Forde, the first President of Irish Community Services and President of Greenwich Irish Pensioners Association, won for inspiring others and being a great ambassador. The winner of the young person’s outstanding achievement award was Chad Ndebele who has worked tirelessly as an advocate and ambassador for LGBTQ young people both in the Borough and across the country. There were five winners in the volunteer award category including Gyan Tamang, a highly respected member of the Nepalese community who was rewarded for his work helping elderly veterans in and around Plumstead. Sue Tucker and Alison Ikpitan won for their efforts making up Christmas food hampers, running a group which gives people items of clothing and furniture plus also fundraising for the London Air Ambulance. Hazera Jannath Rahman and Hayley Downes were both recognised for their work with Volunteers Supporting Families and the Now’s the Time Volunteer Team in Thamesmead won for encouraging people to take part in physical activity in their local community. The Plumstead Pantry was one of three winners in the business award category for its buzzing community feel. More 2 Childcare also won for its local drop in centre which contains a work hub for parents, along with Archery Fit, an indoor club which has introduced over 3,000 people to the sport. There were six winners in the act of courage category. These included Emma Benet, PC Marcus Sinkinson and PC Ben Cochrane, who together helped save a young boy and his dog when they fell through the ice at Sutcliffe Park Pond, and Vasil Nakov and Sonya Angelova, who tackled an armed robber to the ground and restrained him until the police arrived. James Yeoburn was also recognised for rescuing an elderly neighbour and her dog from a fire. 2 The three winners in the sporting achievement category included Paralympic silver medallist Matthew Robertson who achieved a personal best and national record at this year’s cycling championships. Susannah Rodgers, who is Greenwich’s most decorated athlete and a key ambassador for Greenwich Starting Blocks, and Daryll Neita, a Team GB athlete who was the youngest member of the 4x100 metre relay squad to win a bronze medal at Rio 2016, were also winners. Brigadier Ken Timbers won the arts and entertainment award for giving his time and expertise to the Royal Greenwich Heritage Trust as the lead adviser on their new permanent exhibition, Making Woolwich: The Royal Regiment of Artillery in Woolwich. Ken is a scholar about Woolwich’s rich history and is a former curator at the Royal Artillery’s Rotunda Museum as well as previously working as both a staff member and trustee at the former Firepower Museum. Four incredible people won the lifetime achievement award. Nick Edwards, who is currently chair of governors at both Pound Park Nursery and Fossdene Primary School, was recognised for working voluntarily for many years to deliver the very best for children and families. Charles Roper Medhurst, 91, won for being a bastion of the community, and raising thousands of pounds for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal over the decades. Phyllis Iwowo was rewarded for continuing to support patients as a practice nurse at Ferryview Health Centre and at Bannockburn Health Centre aged 83. Metro Judo Club, based at Thomas Tallis School, also won for its tremendous service to the Borough since it was formed 40 years ago, with members competing at over 60 countries worldwide for the club, England and Great Britain. Leader of the Royal Borough Councillor Denise Hyland said: "The Civic Awards celebrate our unsung local heroes and organisations who dedicate their time to helping others. Their efforts provide an incredible example and truly make the Royal Borough such a great place. “We should be proud of all our winners as well as thankful for their tireless hard work. I would also like to thank everyone who took the time to make a nomination.” Mayor of the Royal Borough Councillor Olu Babatola added: "These awards showcase people who help their community and beyond. Judging the nominations was a difficult task because the standard was so high so I would like to congratulate every one of our winners for their efforts.” Janine Rasiah Communications Officer Central Services Royal Borough of Greenwich ℡ 020 8921 4376 07860 834529 * The Woolwich Centre, 35 Wellington Street, London SE18 6HQ 8 www.royalgreenwich.gov.uk Please consider the environment before printing this email 3 David White From: Janine Rasiah Sent: 24 March 2017 11:31 To: Alison Payne; Olu Babatola Cc: Media Desk Subject: RE: FOR APPROVAL: Civic Awards winners Hi Alison Thanks for letting me know.

  • International Costume Committee Comité International Du Costume
    ICOM Costume News 2017 September 2017 INTERNATIONAL COSTUME COMMITTEE COMITÉ INTERNATIONAL DU COSTUME Letter from the Chair Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to report on a successful meeting in London. We enjoyed stimulating papers and, of course, the renewal of collegial friendships. I must first thank our British colleagues who stepped in to as- sist with planning this meeting. I do not advise trying to plan a meeting in a short time, at a great distance and without a local committee. However, members of the Board of Officers and members of the Com- mittee made essential contacts which allowed this 2017 meeting to proceed after the unfortunate cancella- tion of the Bangkok meeting due to the death of the king. First, I must thank Matteo Augello who sug- gested the London College of Fashion and made the first contact; Johannes Pietsch who made the contact with the School of Historical Dress; and Alexandra Kim who had contacts at the Fan Museum, the Victo- ria and Albert Museum, Kensington Palace, and contacted Chatsworth and the transportation companies necessary for the post-conference day trip. Through it all Paola Di Trocchio kept sending the e-mails and Meike Koenigstein kept the ICOM Costume Web site up to date. As a result of all of these efforts and more, we had a meeting with 81 attendees, 5 accompanying persons and a program of 46 presentations with 27 countries represented. The committee was able to provide full or partial subventions to nine members. We were very pleased to welcome Lotte van Schellen and Catherine Regout representing the com- mittee organizing our 2018 meeting in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

  • Woolwich History Walks
    ROYAL GREENWICH HERITAGE Woolwich TRUST History Walks trails start here discover woolwich The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich is imbued with history, much of which is linked with the British military. The former was responsible for the vast majority of developing, testing and processing weapons of war for the British Army and Navy for over 300 years, employing more than 80,000 at its peak and making it one of the most significant manufacturing sites in the UK. Until recently, much of what went on inside the walls of the Royal Arsenal was kept secret. Today, as a result of its decommission in the 1990s and subsequent revival and redevelopment, much of it is open for the public to experience and explore. These military roots have extended throughout Woolwich, the remnants of which are still present today. WHICH TRAIL WOULD YOU LIKE TO FOLLOW? Royal Arsenal Walk The Royal Arsenal Walk highlights a selection of the most impressive foundries, factories and warehouses in the compound, that were integral to the production of British weapons.
