Baroness Elizabeth Berridge, Catmose College, Annual Presentations of Awards 2011

 Baroness Elizabeth Berridge, Catmose College, Annual Presentations of Awards 2011 












The guest of honour was Baroness Elizabeth Berridge
of the Vale of Catmose in the County of Rutland



Last night I attended the Annual Presentation of Award and Certificates
for the Academic Year 2010 – 2011


The hospitality of the college was superb.
 
 
The Baroness gave an interesting and amusing address including references to the ipad and iphone.

Baroness Elizabeth Berridge referred to the X Factor in her address and presentation. She apologised to fans of the BBC Strictly Come Dancing. She said she has always been a fan of X Factor.

This reminded me In the world of Twitter people are suggesting the sponsorship of The X Factor by Marks & Spencer is lowering the image of the store. I say they are just jumping on the band wagon of popularity.

She finished by telling all we are all are own story. I found her comment about health and safety amusing.
She is told she walks to fast in the corridors of the House of Lords creating a health and safety is for some of the older members

The Catmose college has achieved some of the best exam results in the country.


On the way to the reception, I had a chance to meet and have a brief chat with Christine Emmett
She is one of Rutlands newer Conservatives. Surprisingly nice and looking at her profile rather more intelligent than some of the old style Rutland Tories. I felt she would be better suited in Government rather than Rutland County Council. I hope they are using her wisely. Pity she is a Rutland Conservative.
