Chairperson Anne Shapland accepts the runners-up prize

Leicester Group maintained its monopoly on the "Best Web Site" award by winning it for the third year running. No other group has won this category of the competition since its introduction in 1999, though competition has grown stiffer every year.

The President's Awards, announced each year at the National Local Groups Conference are the local group equivalent of the Oscars. Prizes are awarded in eight categories, each reflecting a different area of group activities. The group achieving the best overall performance is rewarded with the main prize.

Sadly we were unable to retain hold of the overall trophy, won for the first time in our history last year, which went to Croydon group. Some consolation came in the form of the runners-up prize, which brought our total prize money to £70.
