Thank you for your lifelong service, Ma'am!

Absolutely delighted to have received this through the post today. What a great honour. I have enjoyed every minute being a DepDC and look forward to further serving the Province in my new role. Congratulations to those who have also received letters of appointment or promotion.

A sad and surreal night for us tonight. We heard of Her Majesty’s passing whilst in Lodge and will tonight be proposing the Loyal Toast to His Majesty the the King and singing God Save The King. Rest in Peace Queen Elizabeth.
Looking forward to going to the Manchester Craft Beer Festival tomorrow. I wonder if I’ll have a headache on Sunday??
So sad to hear of Len Hayes passing. He was always a pleasure to be around and brightened everyone’s day wherever he went. RIP Len.

Early start this morning as me and Kenny @kennyG1512 as we head to Blackburn to practice for the investiture of our new PGM. Looking forward to a great day
