The winner of the ‘Bowskill trophy’ for an individual or group who has particularly contributed to the Hastings Week 2018 events was won by Nick Hyne, for his help with publishing the programme at very short notice, following the sad death of committee member Ion Castro.

Keith Donaldson, a churchwarden at St Clements with All Saints parish in the Old Town, was awarded a certificate of merit for his help with the closing ceremony, and the WWI display in St Clement’s church.
