Sotonia Awards 2022
This year's Sotonia awards event was a joint promotion, incorporating youth and senior awards in a new outdoor Summer time slot in contrast to previous (pre-covid) winter awards events when getting together was a lot simpler! The youth event kicked things off with an afternoon of team games for the kids followed by Bare Bones BBQ & Grill providing the excellent food.
A big thank you to the events team of Natalie and Jason and all those who had a part in making a great event happen at the fantastic location of the Greggs School marquee and grounds.
