On Sunday the Silverstone National Circuit played host for the second year running to the eagerly awaited Season Opener and Corporate Challenge 2012. Without doubt this is a real highlight of the Greenpower season, with the world-class venue of Silverstone providing a stunning facility for the event.

At the end of March the Greenpower Team were excited to launch a new initiative for young people alongside passionate Greenpower supporter Fordingbridge plc. The launch was designed to encourage sponsorship for the new program which aims to inspire young people with the importance of sustainable engineering within the built environment.  

Congratulations to Vaughan Curnow whose tireless volunteer work in Cornwall for Greenpower has been recognised by the local community.  He won the Environmental Award at the 2012 Pirate FM  Local Hero Award.

Vaughan, who is a Liaison Officer for Cornwall College passionately believes in supporting young people and highlighting the opportunities available to them particularly in the field of engineering.  With the support of Cornwall College and Vaughan's work more than 9,000 students in Cornwall have been able to get involved with Greenpower.

The last month has seen a busy start to the Goblin race season. The first event at Portsmouth boasted a new venue at HMS Excellent on Whale Island, and with a record entry the event went without glitches. The second event was East Sussex Goblins at Plumpton College. Like the Portsmouth event the sun was out for the whole day and made for another smashing day of Goblin racing. Well done to all teams who competed and we look forward to the next events in Littlehampton, Essex and Gloucestershire.
