Well its now 9.25pm and I have just arrived home after what I can only describe as a fantastic evening. Thanks to all who turned up and participated. We had over 120 people present at the event and the band were great – thanks to them for giving their time at such short notice, and I think the young people really enjoyed their music. The street dance group showed us all how to strut our stuff and performed well in front of the crowd.
It was good to see a few Worthing borough councillors and I think they were pleasantly surprised at the variety and number of young people recieving acknowledgement for their achievements during the past year. There were well over 70 young people who got a mention and probably double that number who were unable to attend on the night, and will recieve their certificates at their respective clubs in the next few weeks.
I had the opportunity to meet a couple of prospective youth councillors who were there and I hope they take the advise and get all their friends to vote for them next week.
