Incredible Edible Todmorden members not only met royalty in London on Wednesday but a second team scooped two awards in Thirsk at the same time.
Lynne Midwinter, Helena Cook, both members of IET, and Louise Harrison, project co-ordinator of the Upper Calder Valley Renaissance, travelled to Thirsk for the presentation of the Action for Market Towns Initiative awards.
IET not only won the Environment and Culture section of the awards but also beat 90 entries to take the award for the best overall project, which means that IET will go forward to the national awards in October.
And as the northern team were giving acceptance speeches in Thirsk IET members, Pam Warhurst, Mary Clear and Nick Green with Professor Paul Clarke and Calderdale Council's director of Community Services, Kirsten England, were chatting to Prince Charles and accepting the honour of becoming one of only 19 Breakthrough projects selected out of 300 entries by the Sustainable Development Commission to be taken forward to help transform the UK into a sustainable society.
