D of E!


One of my proudest accomplishments STILL, some 30 odd years later, is achieving the “full set” of "Duke of Edinburgh Awards”.  I remember the effort that I put into the expeditions, the over-riding aspects of “service” and the long term commitment to a variety of disparate “activities” including of all things, flower arranging and canoe building.  It was tough!  So, a generation later, it’s hugely gratifying to now be able to celebrate Nerea’s successful achievement of the awards too. But notwithstanding Nerea's personal determination, many thanks are due to all those at Friars who've helped her reach this satisfying goal.

2  generations, 2 sets of Duke of Edinburgh Award Badges

  3. Congratulations to Nerea (and you!). In March this year I went to St James Palace to watch my daughter collect her Gold award - a proud moment!

  4. Congratulations to your daughter too. It's an achievement for any one as it does require commitment for a considerable period of time!
