As some of you may know, this New Years Eve we’re planning a bit more entertainment at Pilling’s Boat House and including a new feature – the “Pilling’s Lock Boating Awards”. The evening will be a ticket only event but there will be a substanial discount for Berth Holders.
Being a completely new type of event, we’d like your views and suggestions on what we should be making awards for. Things like “Best Narrowboat”, “Best Cruiser”, ”Best Christmas Lights” would be included, but we’d like some light-hearted awards too like “Biggest Repair Bill” and ”Best New Dent”. We’d also know how you’d like to recognise a member of the local community who’s been helpful and supportive of boating in the local area.
When we’ve decided what award categories are going to be recognised, we will then have confidential voting forms available at the office for everyone to have their vote. Entries will be counted and verified before NYE and the awards given out on the night.
Web users will be glad to know that comments are now open on this feature! so go ahead and let us know what you think we should all be recognising at this event…but please be positive and constructive with your views and don’t spoil the surprise if you have someone in mind! …
