Congratulations also to George Lemon, who was presented with an award in honour of his outstanding contribution and loyalty to theatre in the Canberra area. Coralie Wood also deserves to be widely congratulated. She was the founder of the awards and she continues to work extremely hard and really is the CAT awards. Her effort is rewarded, though, as the CATs go from strength to strength. I look forward to the CAT awards next year.
