Village of the Year Competition - We won!!

On Wednesday 25th July a delegation from King's Sutton attended the awards ceremony for the Northamptonshire Village of the Year competition. We've always known that King's Sutton is a fantastic place to live and it was great to hear on Wednesday night the Judges thought so too!
The awards King's Sutton won were:

Best Newcomer (our first year of entry in the competition)
Best large village in Northamptonshire
Best Village in Northamptonshire

This was obviously a fantastic result for King's Sutton, especially on the back of the bad news we got last week with regards to the terrible flooding we endured.

A lot of people put a great deal of effort into securing victory in the competition; through their hard work demonstrating what a wonderful village and community we have. My thanks go out to them all.
In particular Tina Armstrong and Carole Hill put in huge amounts of effort in putting together a portfolio of the village, which really highlighted all the community activities and events we undertake within the village. This portfolio was very well received by the judges and played I'm sure a significant part in our victory. Thanks you two!

We now go off to the national finals to put our case forward as Village of the Year for England. Fingers crossed X
