NATIONAL LIFE MEMBERSHIP AWARDS

ROYAL BRITISH LEGION NORTH WALES

 

Two Members, Alan Cathery, Chairman North Wales District and Membership Council Member for Wales, and Alun Jones, Chairman of Nefyn & District branch were presented with their Certificates & Life Membership Badges by Noel Duston Trustee from Wales at the North Wales District's Annual Conference/AGM held at the RAFA Club in Llangollen on the 28^th January. Gilbert Butler, Chairman of Shotton & Connah's Quay Branch, had earlier been presented with his award at his branch AGM.

This rarely given and prestigious award is for achievements considered to be conspicuous and worthy of merit, over and above that normally expected of a member, and includes full membership rights without payment of subscriptions for life.

At the same Awards ceremony Peter Kingston, MBE, was presented with the Legion's Gold Badge for conspicuous and meritorious service both to his branches Llandudno, & Rhyl (who proposed his award), and as Vice Chairman of North Wales District. He has now taken over the role of Chairman from Alan.

The RAFA Club venue in Llangollen was a fine and very friendly place to hold our AGM, with a record for recent years of 46 attending, with an excellent buffet lunch laid on, and lots of opportunities for members to meet and enjoy the comradeship born of years of Legion membership
