Presentation of the RHS Banksian Medal

On the morning of Sunday 4th October, the Society was pleased to recognise one of our members with a unique award for outstanding work over the last 12 months in the promotion of horticulture and for keeping us all informed. Our chairman Bill Lee presented the Royal Horticultural Society Banksian medal to Gwennan Craddock our web site designer and maintainer. 

This is a prestigious award and the RHS were pleased to agree that it should be awarded to Gwennan who has contributed greatly this year for the benefit of all of our Society. A few things that were achieved by her are: the continued upkeep of our newsletters and web pages, the revamping of the web site, our online show and the introduction of links to topical and local websites of horticultural interest and much more. Ultimately, she has put our Society on the horticultural map with recognition locally and more widely in the UK and beyond. I hope that you will all join together in congratulating Gwennan on a job well done.
