Bracknell

It will be a glamorous Bracknell night of speeches and dancing when the fifth annual BAFTAs come to town on Wednesday March 14.

Bracknell Forest's own youth stars will be honoured at the Bracknell awards for teenagers (BAFTAs) during an evening filled with music, dancing and laughter.

The awards are held each year by Bracknell Forest Borough Council to recognise the achievements and good work of the borough's young people aged between 13 and 19-years-old.

Certificates will be given out to more than 100 young people after the Mayor of the Borough of Bracknell Forest, Cllr Clifton Thompson, welcomes everyone to the event.

Some of the Bracknell awards being handed out this year are for the borough's teenagers who have completed first aid courses, have completed or worked on their Duke of Edinburgh Award (silver and bronze), or achieved National Keystone Awards or Youth Achievement Awards.

To celebrate the achievements of all the young people the teenagers, as well as guests including the Mayor and local dignitaries, will be invited to listen to a band called Valour, who will perform a live set, and then party-on into the evening to the sounds of DJ Rory.

Cllr Clifton Thompson, Mayor of the Borough of Bracknell Forest, said: "Our young people do a great deal of good work which frequently goes unnoticed and the BAFTAs are a good way of recognising all the time and effort they put into achieving various qualifications and awards.

"I'm looking forward to meeting so many of our young people at the Bracknell BAFTAs and congratulating them on all their efforts."
