The 2nd Army Apprentice
National Memorial Annual Reunion Weekend held on the 9th & 10th May,
2015, was a great success. On
Saturday 9th May 2015, we held the 2015 A.G.M. at the N.M.A at 13.00hrs,
followed in the evening by an informal Dinner & Cabaret at the Menzies
Court Hotel, Mickleover. Max Warwick and Gordon Bonner,
both Arborfield September 49ers (49B), stood down from their positions as Trustees
on the A.A.N.M Committee, Web Master, and Media and Fund Raising
respectively. Each was presented with a 'black granite plaque of
appreciation' for their work as Trustees, by the Charity Chairman Dave
Chapman (60A Chepstow) and Keith Rackham, the chairman of H.L.Perfitt
Ltd, the stonemasons who constructed the Memorial. _____________________________________________________________________________________ |
