We launch the 2011 Cotswold Life Food & Drink Awards!

A big hello from the event organisers at the Cotswold Life Food & Drink Awards. Thank you to everyone involved in 2010 awards, we hope you'll agree it was a fantastic event.

Now on to 2011.... we've moved from the Gold Cup & Festival suite to the fantastic venue that is the Centaur at Cheltenham Racecourse. We welcome back the lovely Steve Knibbs as our compere for 2011 and we also welcome back Warner's Budgens as our headline sponsor for 2011.

Here's what Guy Warner had to say about the awards: “The Cotswold Life Food & Drink awards are an ideal platform for local businesses to increase their profile. We have just signed up for 2011 having been very pleased with the coverage and awareness we received during the 2010 awards. Warner’s Budgens champions local food and the Cotswold Life Food & Drink Awards tie in with that perfectly.”

There will be some new categories added and altered and some old ones removed, watch this space. Nominations launch in the March issue...
