The PAGB have awarded the J S Lancaster Medal to 2 WPF members, namely Peter Young, and Roy Thomas. This award is for Exceptional Service to the PAGB and is a very rare honour.
Since the inception of the award in 1998 there have only been 33 recipients. The last time the honour was bestowed on a WPF member was in 2002 when it was awarded to Ainslie Stuart-Jones. The recipients can use the honorific Hon PAGB.
The medal is named after J.S.Lancaster who proposed the setting up of the PAGB, and was the secretary from its founding in 1930 until 1946.
The whole Executive are proud to congratulate both Peter and Roy, and share this good news with everyone.
Martin Nagle, General Secretary, WPF.
