The winners of the ‘Northumbie Awards’ 2018 were last night (July 5) crowned at a presentation evening at Langley Castle Hotel in Langley-on-Tyne that has everyone buzzing and concocting Northumberland Day plans in and around the 2019 date of May 26.
The Northumbies reward participation and the special effort that goes into celebrating the county day and contenders from across the county gathered at Langley, to discover whether or not they would be taking home one of the stunning bespoke fused-glass trophies designed by Broomhill-based Helen Grierson.
This year, unbeknown to many, there were also Hearts of Achievement for runners-up in some categories and Highly Commended certificates for all who contributed an activity or celebration to the Northumberland Day website – www.northumberlandday.co.uk
