Mr Peter Field, Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex and Charles Hendry MP were amongst the guests at the first ever CPRE Sussex Countryside Awards Ceremony, held at Braylsham Castle on 26th May 2009.
Entries were received from across Sussex in all three categories: New Sussex Landscapes; Field to Table and Sussex Rural Industry.
The entries were considered by a panel of distinguished judges, chaired by landscape historian and geographer Dr Peter Brandon. Lady Caroline Egremont, Mrs Phylidda Stewart-Roberts OBE, CVO, DL and Miss Margaret Moore, Vice President of CPRE Sussex completed the panel.
The judges were extremely impressed by the innovative and sensitive nature of the projects, together with the contribution they make to their local communities.
Gerald Summerfield, Vice Chairman of CPRE Sussex, opened the Ceremony. He commented "our new CPRE Sussex Award Scheme has been a unique opportunity to support and encourage innovative and sensitive development schemes here in Sussex. The judges have been full of praise and the winners can be hugely proud of their contribution to the landscape and their communities."
