Citizen’s Awards 2019

Each year, Woodley Town Council celebrates the work of people who help others and contribute to our community at its Citizens Awards ceremony.  The awards are for individuals whose good works benefit an individual or organisation in Woodley. They can be good neighbours, or people carrying out voluntary work, or who care for people in our community. Nominees can be any age and there is a youth category for nominees aged 19 or under.

The Mayor will be presenting the awards at a Civic Reception on the evening of 29 March 2019 to which the award winners, their family and friends, and the nominators will be invited.

If you know someone you think deserves recognition for their work in our town you can make a nomination by filling in the form and returning it to the Council offices by Monday 21 January 2019.  Forms are available on the Council website: Citizen Awards or call to request one on 0118 9690356 or for more information.

Get on your bike!

The My Journey Wokingham team will be launching their new bike hut in Woodley on 19^th February and there will be lots of FREE cycling activities on offer for all the family.

• Bring your own bike along to have a free safety check by Doctor Bike or learn how to fix a puncture at one of our workshops.
• Younger children can have a go on a balance bike taster session or a Learn to Ride session (run by our cycling instructors, indoors in the sports hall).  Balance bikes will be provided for these sessions but you are welcome to bring your own child’s pedal bike for the Learn to Ride session.
• Make a fruit Smoothie on our pedal-powered Smoothie bike.
• Have a go at our “Time to Shine” competition – hunting for bright “hi-vis” pebbles (with prizes to be won!).
• Information and advice from the My Journey Wokingham team on cycle routes and opportunities for cycle training for children and adults.

Further information can be found on the My Journey Wokingham website.
