On Thursday, 17th July, 2008, I was delighted to have been formally invited by Brigadier J.E.Richardson MBE (Late R Signals) and Commander 49 (East) Brigade, to attend a Reception and Briefing by the Army Presentation Team at Welbeck, The Defence Sixth Form College in Loughborough.
Accompanied by Maurice and Carol Collett, we were given a presentation and update on the recent changes within the Army.
The Army takes it's responsibilities as a public service seriously and the Presentation Team seek to promote awareness and understanding of how the Regular and Territorial Army operate and how it interacts with other sections of society.
The evening started with a drinks reception and continued with the main presentation. This was followed by an opportunity to ask questions in an open forum to the Team and a number of local Army representatives from our local area.
The evening concluded with a finger buffet and an opportunity to chat to any of the military personnel present.
The evening was attended by many influential leaders in the local community and was thoroughly enjoyable and informative too!
The men and women of our Armed Services deserve our whole-hearted support no matter what is asked of them.
Cllr. Cathy Duffy

Well done to Carol and Maurice for their hard work promoting the party.
Well done the Colletts, though the army is doomed under Labour.
Good work by Mr and Mrs Collett keep at it!
