First of all my congratulations to all recipients of an award - be it ten years or sixty.
A great many societies and groups like to show their appreciation to loyal members and I hope you all wear your award with pride.
With over 2500 societies and groups throughout the United Kingdom, you can imagine the large number of awards being dispatched from NODA Head Quarters continually. Could I therefore ask, when it is possible please sent the applications to me as soon as you are able. The "Turn-round" by the staff at NODA HQ in Peterborough is second to none.
It is a pleasure "getting to know so many of you, I am always at the ed of the phone or email to give you all the help I can.

East Midlands Awards Secretary
