The Ceremony
Each year a ceremony is held around the first week of December at Ponds Forge International Sports Centre. The event usually comprises a three course meal where several awards are presented between each course, culminating in the final award presented to the 'Outstanding Business of the Year'.
The 2010 ceremony was hosted by comedian and impressionist Jon Culshaw. The event was planned for 2 December, but unfortunately due to severe weather conditions, the awards were postponed until 13 January 2011.
The 2009 ceremony was hosted by Paul Ross on 3 December.
The 2008 ceremony was hosted by Jon Culshaw and held on 4 December 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word ceremony:
“Such a set of tittle tattle, prittle prattle visitants! Oh Dear! I am so sick of the ceremony and fuss of these fall lall people! So much dressing—chitchat—complimentary nonsense—In short, a country town is my detestation. All the conversation is scandal, all the attention, dress, and almost all the heart, folly, envy, and censoriousness.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“But ceremony never did conceal,
Save to the silly eye, which all allows,
How much we are the woods we wander in.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
