Sporting volunteer and former chairman of Welwyn Wheelers Cycling Club Peter Waghorn has been presented with an MBE along with awards named for John Northcott, Pamela Eldridge and Christopher Sneath for various services to our community in Welwyn Hatfield. They form part of 5 named from the area including our very own agent, Jonny Ball, who received a Commander Land Forces Commendation for his work as an army reservist in Afghanistan. Jonny said 'I'm massively surprised to have received the phone call telling me of this award, but it goes to show the recognition is there for reservists giving up thier careers and seamlessly fitting in to demanding roles within the regular army.
'I owe much of this to the support that I received from my family and think about my friend at this time, who sadly didnt make it home.'
