The Woodard Award

Named after the late Bob Woodard, Honorary Life member, it is awarded each year

for an article written by a member and contributed to the Bulletin of the Society which is

deemed by the independent judges to have contributed significantly, by the quality of its

research and the clarity of its communication, to increasing the knowledge of the history of

Tewkesbury and District.

The award is a silver bowl with the names of winners inscribed upon it and a medal

for the winner to keep.

The independent judges, who report to the A.G.M., have been David Aldred, local author

& Head of History at Cleeve School, Nicholas Kingsley, County Archivist, John Looseley,

Chairman of the Gloucestershire Community Council for History & David Evans, Author,

Academic and Broadcaster. John Loosley has now retired and will be replaced by Dr. Steven Blake.
