Some of the Community Team came together at a Civic Reception, organised by Cllr Jacqueline Thomas and hosted by Cllr Hannah Stevens, The Worshipful The Mayor of Torbay, at the Riviera International Centre in Torquay.
Those recognised were involved in various aspects of putting on the English Riviera Airshow, from organising the in the air and on the ground displays, health and safety, entertainment and sponsorship to programme selling, charity donation collections, marketing and promotion and running the event villages. Their combined efforts ignited community spirits to deliver a superb spectacular, ensuring that the English Riviera Airshow remains an annual event the region can be proud of.
