Subject: [rlc_announce] Queens Award for Voluntary Service
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
