IMPORTANT: DO NOT SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS YET - Further to my last email I note
the last paragraph of the long email reads "it is vital that you do not
reveal you are a recipient of the Award before the official announcement on
2 June from Buckingham Palace. All group members can be informed, but any
breach of confidence outside the group could result in the withdrawal of the
Award."
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
===============================================
Dear all,
Most of you will be aware that our volunteers were among 18 groups nominated
within Surrey for possible receipt of the Queen's Award this year. The award
is the equivalent of the MBE for volunteer groups.
I am very pleased to be able to report that this morning I received an email
telling us that we have won the award! While there seems to be no embargo on
spreading this good news, the official announcement in the London Gazette
will not be made until June 2nd.
Congratulations to you all for winning such a prestigious award and very
many thanks for all the help you provide without which the museum could not
survive.
Chris Shepheard
