Dedication of the North Yorkshire Branch
Standard
On Wednesday 11th June 2008 a Service was held at the Station
Church, RAF Leeming, to Dedicate the North Yorkshire Branch
Standard.
The event was attended by the Provost Marshall and a number of
serving RAF Police Officers and NCO's. We also enjoyed the support of
Association Members from the London & Home Counties Branch, the East
Midlands Branch, the South Yorkshire Branch and the North East Branch as well as
the West Yorkshire Branch of the RMP Association. John Curtis of the EMB and
Alan Walsh of the RMPA also paraded their respective Branch Standards, for which
we were grateful.
After the Church Service a few drinks and a meal in the
Sergeants Mess rounded the day off nicely.
Numerous photos were taken, including some official ones by
the Station Photographer. I hope eventually to get them all on to a
disc.
On behalf of the Officers and Members of the North Yorkshire
Branch, I would like to thank everyone who came to RAF Leeming to support
us.
