The award ceremony will take place in London at Quaglino’s on 16th October, but Fosse Farmhouse owner, Caron Cooper, won’t get a chance to attend the prestigious ceremony:
“I’m so disappointed to miss this important event, however, I will be in Tokyo on October 16th as I am meeting the animation company GENCO regarding another series of the anime KINMOZA!”
I think we can all agree, that’s not a bad reason to miss the award ceremony!
Caron continued: “Fosse Farmhouse is the only Stay in Bath member shortlisted for the Eviivo awards, so let’s hope I win!”
