The results are emailed to the venue Awards Coordinators, by the date given in the Awards Calendar. Just a couple are still to come and these will be with you as soon as possible.
In the meantime, here's a little peak at what the preliminary round competitions look like to us.
Chef, Young Chef, Cook & Serve, Manager of Tomorrow and Sales Coordinator all submit paper entries for their preliminary rounds.
The MARCHE Awards Office is strewn with towering piles of paperwork as we sort through all the entries, chase the ones lost in the mail or internet. They are copied and sent off to the relevant judging teams.
The Housekeeping Assistants all wait politely for their turn to take part in their practical assessments and written papers.
At least it was a glorious day with sunshine blazing in to make everyone feel a little sunnier themselves.
Due to a slight administrative error (we left the camera in the office *ahem*) we haven't got any photos of all the lovely Receptionists taking part in their preliminary round, so you will have to take our word for it that they were all turned out immaculately and entered into their allocated tasks with enthusiasm and energy.
Thank you Jurys Inn Birmingham for hosting us on Tuesday.
And today its the turn of the Food Service Assistant candidates.
Here they are being briefed on the plan for the day by the Chair of Judges.
Our specialist Judges take their judging responsibilities very seriously
And we really do thank them for their (very) hard work in judging each category.
Hall Green Greyhound Stadium hosted us for the first time this year - thank you for having us!
So that is a quick look at the preliminary rounds of the MARCHE Awards for Excellence competitions.
We're looking forward to seeing our finalists in the coming weeks.
! GOOD LUCK !
