Update - Press Awards
So we went along, no l tell a lie, we sent Harry along [Farmer doesn't really like wearing black tie gear] with the promises of good food & a free night out. As he left, he asked would he need to make a speech if we won? I casually assured him that he wouldn't, just shake hands, smile for the photographer then go and sit down.
I didn't hear Harry come in, but over a late breakfast shared with the previous evening's loot scattered across the kitchen table l was informed that a] the food was blurdey brilliant b] the tables were growning with bottles of plonk and c] he had to make a speech and no he couldn't remember what he said. The award evening, Harry proceeded to inform us, were more MTV than School Prize giving.
So we are now proud holders of the York Press Family Business Award 2010.
PS: in the photo Harry is right in the middle of the shot stopping down behind a brunette [girlfriend] & blond who are in the front row.

Well done!....and well deserved!
What a happy evening that must have been for your son. I know, from reading your posts, that all of you work very hard to maintain the high quality of your ice cream, and that running an efficient and pleasant parlour and camp ground are a huge job. Congratulations!
Oh excellant stuff well done all of you!! How wonderful for Harry to have a fun evening like that and come away with an award and good memories. Just rewards for all of you and very very well deserved!!!
Well done all - and especially to Harry for his impromptu speechifying. I'm sure his YFC activities have prepared him for such things.
Congratulations! A very well deserved reward.
Well I have seen it all first hand so I know just how hard you work: not just for these awards but for the the pride you all take in your business and your product. And knowing Harry I know he will have been brilliant and will havebeen a fantastic ambassador on the night. Well done....thoroughly deserved.
yes mountaneer, public speaking with YFC has helped in this dept!
Fantastic! Well done to you all, much deserved.
Well done, indeed; truly im-press-ive. I must read more!
And a brilliant idea — sending the son to do the dad's, or mom's, work.
Many congratulations on the award - the result of much hard work, I'm sure
