February 2004: REEP Awards 2004-2005

We are delighted to announce that Sir Kenneth Carlisle has kindly agreed to chair the panel of Judges in our new round of REEP Awards.

This year sees new categories and these will be announced at the end of February 2004. The closing date, also to be announced, will be during Spring 2005.

Meanwhile, thank you to all those who have already sent in enquiries and begun to think about their possible entries. There's plenty of time for whole schools, classes, after-school clubs and small groups to start looking for spaces great and small that can be transformed into a garden that reflects spiritual and community values, or to think about designing the garden using ICT, or to find new partnerships. Look on last year's site for some starter ideas.
