I had a mooch around the park myself after giving a small speech to DTC so I will post a few photos below in a minute. I was delighted to receive a call last week informing me that CPAG were nominated this year. It was our first year & we all worked very hard so to be one of the nominees this year is very much appreciated

Roger - 8 May 2014 13:35265806Many thanks for all the Congrats & to all those who voted
It was a great night, DTC certainly made it so with a film show of all the nominees speaking about their experiences. They had a lovely spread of refreshments as well. Mr Graham Tutthill was our compere for the night & he did a brilliant job looking suitably refreshed, obviously embracing his retirement.
We were absolutely thrilled to win the award for the Beautiful Dover category, it came as a shock as we didn't really expect to win. After all the hard work at Connaught Park over the last year this was the icing on the cake The volunteers have worked endlessly & thoroughly deserve it.
A Huge Well Done to all the other winners, very well deserved
I managed to get some photos on the night so here you are
All winners received the Golden Globe, well it is to us! It's a Paperweight
