Information for participants of the Gold Award Presentation 2015 and their
parents/guardians
March 2015
We are very busy preparing the Gold Award Presentation that will take place on Thursday 21 May
2015 in The Hague: it'll be a wonderful event! You have already received several emails with some
information and questions from Janieke van den Heuvel and Nelleke de Kruik.
Via this memo we will give you further information and we have some questions for you. Please read
it carefully and let your parents/guardians read it as well. If you have any further questions, do not
hesitate to contact us (see details below).

Logbook
You can of course only receive your Gold Award if you have finished all four sections + the Residential
Project according to the criteria of the International Award. Have you sent your logbook to the
national Award organisation yet?
Yes? That's great! Then you will have received it in your mail again with the authorisation of the
national Award association.
No? Please make sure you send your completed logbook to the above address before 15 April.
And to be blunt but clear: when we receive no response before 15 April or do not receive your
logbook before that date, we can’t present you a Gold Award.
Address and phone number
In order to send you the official invitation for the ceremony, we need your home address and your
phone number. If you have already given your details to the organisation, thank you! If you haven't
done so already, please email them to [email protected]
Preparation meeting
On Saturday 18 April we are expecting all of you for the preparation meeting in Utrecht, starting at
4pm. The information about the venue (close to the Utrecht railway station) will be sent later. We
will go through the entire programme, discuss the mood board exhibition and there will be time to
answer any further questions.

Mood board
Prepare a mood board with your Expedition Team to present what you've done for your Gold Award.
If you're no longer in touch with your Expedition Team members or if you're the only one getting
Gold on 21 May, please prepare your own Mood Board. Start with an A3 sheet and use many
pictures/drawings and short, telling descriptions with a personal message about your Gold Award. All
mood boards together form an exhibition for all guests.
Possibility Nieuwspoort
Upon arrival at Nieuwspoort you are welcome to visit the restaurant of Nieuwspoort. Your
parents/guardians are welcome to join you as well.
After the presentation you are all welcome to join the drinks reception. After the reception you'll
have the opportunity to have a three-course meal (around 6.30pm) for €25,- per person at the
Nieuwspoort restaurant. If you'd like to have dinner there, please email your reservation to me
before 1 May.
Dress code
Since this is a wonderful party, our dress code will be 'tenue de ville'. For girls this means a nice dress
or a skirt + smart jacket. For boys, this means a suit or a smart jacket.
Kind regards, also on behalf of the team,
