Club awarded BAFTER 

The Club  gained the Outstanding Achievement Award for Waste Action at the Best Action for the Environment Road Show 2007 (BAFTER).  This was mainly in recognition for the work done by one member who produces cards from recycled cards and recycled cellophane wrappers.  Funds raised go to a variety of charities. The Fashion Show entitled Waste Not Want Not was mentioned as this event raised awareness of the environment by models wearing clothes from a high class second hand dress shop in Ripon and clothes designed by Harrogate College made out of buttons, plastic bags and men's ties
