Powerpod Project Group success at Young Scots Awards 2007


The Powerpod Project group gained the Environmental Award at the Young Scots 2007 ceremony at the City Halls in Glasgow on the 29th March.

They were presented the prize by Justice Minister Cathy Jamieson who had earlier expressed her joy at seeing the Woodcraft Folk on the shortlist as she was an ex-Woodcraft leader herself.

They were also offered a prize by Scottish Gas the sponsors of the award of a visit to one of their windfarms as well as wild water rafting on the Tay.

The evening was sponsored by the Sunday Mail and Lloyds TSB and a wonderful Mardi Gras theme with Brazilian dancers and steel drums featuring heavily in the opening ceremony.

The award was accepted on behalf of the group by Gordon Bruce, Zoe Hutchison and Lindsey Riddoch.
