Brix
Awards 2010
This
year celebrating the achievements of young people within the
community saw a novel presentation of awards at the Berry
Head Hotel.
|
|
|
|
At
the sixth year of the Brix Awards the entire audience were drawn
into an evening of crime busting with guests trying to solve
an elaborate ‘who done it?' staged by the Brixham Young Volunteers
and the staff of YES – Brixham Youth Enquires Service. |
|
|
| The whole night with its Murder Mystery
theme had clues given out throughout evening to solve the crime
and the Young Volunteers dressed as characters such as Hercule
Poirot, Miss Marple and Sherlock Holmes. |
|
|
The
evening also included musical performances provided by YES's
Tuesday music group, with James & Tom Wade entertaining
guests during the break.
The presentation of
certificates to award winners was also interspersed with interactive
games such as “Death by Digits” (bingo) and “Name that book!”
(All Agatha Christie Novels). |
|
|
| This year once again many organisations
stepped up to nominate and award young people in the town for
their commitment to and involvement in their activities such as
Brixham Battery Group, the Island Club and Brixham Amateur Swimming
Club. |
|
|
| The Young Volunteers also received awards
recognising their commitment to the community with projects including
Tea Dances at the Scala Hall and helping organise and host last
year's Christmas Grotto at the YES building on New Road. |
|
|
|
Equally their efforts
in planning and hosting the Brix Awards this year were also
appreciated as they offered not only the clue busting entertainment
and games, but also threw in ‘The Blue Peter challenge' which
this year saw guests trying to disguise someone at the table,
with a prize for the best disguise.
Guests included many
parents and local representatives of organisations such as Brixham
Town Council, Brixham Rotary Club and the Port of Brixham Trawler
Race Association, as well as the award winning young people.
Indeed the highly entertaining programme was enjoyed by all
with many trips to the chocolate fountain, in an evening celebrating
the positive achievements of young people in Brixham. |
