Our annual Awards Evening was taken by Steve Bentham on Thursday 15^th July at the United Church, Lye. Every member of the Company was recognised in some way for their service and loyalty to the Company, Brigade and Church throughout the last 12 months. Iliffe was happy that parents and any other family members were able to come along and support members when they received their awards.

Awards and promotions were made to members of every section of the company. As many of our Church members, and indeed friends, supported our Seniors whilst they undertook the varied work and challenges required, including fund raising for the Seniors Challenge 2009, we again presented their Queen's Badges (after the District Presentation in Solihull) so that they too were able to share presentation of their special achievements.

After the service, refreshments were served downstairs and those attending were able to take the opportunity to see a montage of specially prepared photos from this year's Summer Camp in Llandudno.
