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.
