SOCIAL SCENE High Sheriff awards Outgoing Island High Sheriff Mary Case hosted the High Sheriff Awards Night at the Quay Arts Centre Newport. The ceremony highlights the achievements of young Island people who have overcome or are still overcoming adversity in their lives. Among those present were students with learning disabilities from the IW College who are engaged in the ‘Cup and Saucer’ and ‘Flying Saucer’ projects that allow them to serve tea, coffees and refreshments to employees at County Hall. Mary said: “As only a few of the 40 or so students involved could attend the Awards Night, we held a special celebration party for the remainder of them at the College to recognise their achievements.” Pictures available to buy online from our website: visitilife.com www.visitilife.com 17
