OUR MASTER’S REFLECTION

our Charitable trust supports. I visited the annual Burns Camp at Grafham Water and was humbled by the vibrant positivity of the young people who are helped to come to terms with life-changing injury by this amazing venture.
I and my fellow Wardens have attended a host of London Fire Brigade Cadet Scheme events, including pass-out evenings and awards presentations, and we have seen how the programme helps so many young people turn their lives around. I have also seen our affiliation with 2433 (Ramsgate and Manston)
Squadron, Air Training Corps, go from strength to strength this year.
The services, lectures, lunches, dinners and other events I have attended are far too numerous to list here, although I will take the opportunity to mention a few. My St Florian’s Installation Banquet at Insurance Hall was a particularly special event for me, and I was delighted that Jim Fitzpatrick MP, together with his wife Sheila, was able to join us as our principal guest and speaker.
