The Bedford College Group Achievements Ceremony

Every year, award winners are chosen in recognition of their personal and/or academic achievement and invited to the presentation evening.

You will be sitting on a table with your guests. 

Our venue is Bedford Rugby Club, Goldington Road, Bedford MK40 3NF

Please arrive by 7pm.

The dress code is smart/casual. What you wear is really up to you – in previous years we have had some award winners come in formal dresses and a suit and tie, whereas others have dressed more casually in smart trousers/skirts, open neck shirts, t-shirts and tops. We would however ask that you do not wear jeans or trainers.

Your name will be announced and you will be ushered to the stage to receive your award. You then go up five steps on to the stage to receive your award. If you are likely to have trouble walking up the steps, please let us know and we will make alternative arrangements

The guest speaker and Chief Executive congratulate you, shake your hand and give you your certificate.

No, you don’t have to make a speech or talk in public.

After the presentations, many families and friends like to take their own photographs in the hall and there is plenty of time for this.

There will be food and drinks for you and your guests to enjoy.

Your ticket is free but there is a £5 charge for each of your guests.

Parking is available on site and is free of charge.

This is not a problem, just inform us by contacting marketing on marketing@bedford.ac.uk
