The Branch Christmas Lunch was held on Sunday 17 December at the High Barn at Bressingham Hall, attended by 63 members and their guests. We were also honoured to be joined by the RAFA National President, Air Marshal Sir Baz North and Lady North.
After gathering in the reception hall with Prosecco we enjoyed a delicious meal with wine, soft drinks, tea/coffee and of course the ever competative inter-table quiz.
This year we had a bumper crop of awards to issue including the Member of the Year Tankard to Tony Miles our Media and Press Officer, The Wings Appeal Achievement Certificate to Peter Bensley, The Branch Efficiency Award to our Chairman, and a Presidential Appreciation Certificate to our Standard Bearer Rodney Furness. Our ever-modest Welfare Coffee Morning team were thrilled to be given a RAFA brooch in appreciation for their work during the year. But the most prestigious award, the National President Certificate and Badge, was presented by Sir Baz North to our outstanding Vice Chair Peter Moralee for his tireless work arranging our vibrant events programme.
Sir Baz North also announced that the Branch Chairman Wing Commander Retd Richard Youngs had also been awarded the same honour and that it would be formally announced alongside the New Years Honours List.
We finished with the most fantastic Raffle thanks to the generous donations during the past few months of our members and an Aircraft Print Auction which raised funds for the Branch Social Fund which had heavily subsidised this brilliant event.
Many thanks to Dave for the photographs.
