In a ceremony held at the Langstone Hotel, Havant on 16th September 2011, Nigel Atkinson Esq DL, Vice-Lord-Lieutenant presented the Queen's Award for Volunteering to Off The Record.

On behalf of all of Off The Record's volunteers, both past and present, John Simmonds, Chair of the Board of Director/Trustees accepted the ceremonial crystal and Robert Morton, Vice-Chair accepted the certificate signed by her majesty the Queen.

A video of the presentation can be found on Off The Record's YouTube channel

(the full ceremony is too long for YouTube (which has a 10 minute maximum) - the complete ceremony can be viewed here (suitable for most broadband connections))

And the report in The News is here "The Queen gives youth charity her seal of approval"

We are still waiting for the "official" photographs (so please check back here soon), but the following are from Tina's camera....
