 Roy
and Rita's presentation - an update on the evening
Over
60 Loose Amenities Association members, family, friends and well-wishers
gathered at the King George V Pavilion on Thursday 12th November for
a presentation to Roy and Rita Hood, founder members of LAA.
Over
the last 50 years, Roy and Rita have worked tirelessly to protect and
preserve the village and its valleys and the evening was an opportunity
to say a very public 'thank you' to them both.
Long-standing
LAA trustee Ray Harris presented the couple with a voucher for dinner
for eight people on the Bluebell Line Pullman service. He thanked Roy
for his vision and tenacity in setting up and running the Association
and said that without his efforts there would be no valley for us all
to enjoy today. Terry Davis presented Rita with a bouquet of flowers
with grateful thanks for the immense support she has given Roy and the
Association. LAA is proud to announce that Rita has accepted the role
as its new President.
