Market Rasen Christmas market on Friday 11 December was a delightful affair. The cold, crisp night drew crowds of people into the Festival Hall for warmth and mince pies and to enjoy the stands of a broad range of local organisations. CG Partnership was fortunate enough to share a stand with the fantastic Market Rasen Hub and we were rushed off our feet for much of the evening. The event provided us with the opportunity to meet new people and tell them all about the services we offer, as well as to catch up with past and current learners. A lovely evening and a successful Market Rasen event.

On the evening of the 17th November, staff, learners past and present, and our guests celebrated the achievements of the previous academic year. Following a welcome and review of the year by Janet Farr, awards were presented to the following learners:

• E2E learner of the year – Tammy Osborne
• E2E achiever of the year – James Hine
• Adult learner of the year – Mary Sanderson
• Adult achiever of the year – Carol Warner
• Access learner of the year – Megan Couling

Fantastic food was prepared by the E2E catering workgroup and much enjoyed by all, and the event was an enjoyable evening of reflection and celebration.

Learners, tutors and local representatives gathered together on the evening of 17th November 2009 to celebrate the achievements of learners at the Mablethorpe Learning Centre.
Eight awards were presented by Mayor Helen Parkhurst to learners who had demonstrated a high level of commitment to their learning. A further award was presented to Brian Williams in recognition of his contribution to the learning community, supporting others in their learning.
The evening provided an opportunity for everyone to find out about the range of courses on offer at the centre and to learn about the successes of individual learners, many of whom had significant barriers to overcome to achieve their qualifications.
