Don’t miss the deadline
Event organiser Maggie Currie said,
“I’m happy to say that once again we have received a good number of entries for this year’s awards, but I would hate to think that some organisations might miss an opportunity to win an accolade because they were too late to enter.
“Please get your entries in now. Our panel of independent judges are eagerly awaiting your submissions.”
She added,
“We are incredibly grateful to Caffe Isola for sponsoring this event.”
Entry forms can be completed on line. Go to the website.
