Mike has been a longtime member of the NWC, first commissioned in October 2000 and having returned in June 2021 after being away for years. He's been a "tour de force" since returning, providing not only extensive training for new officers to the Coalition, but also with his activities on the battlefield and in the forums. Often a part of both the fun & celebrations and also lending suggestions, advice & feedback to others. He is also always lending a hand on the Coalition side of the Club. Further Mike has actively recruited new members from WDS' Facebook group, as well as other venues.

It is safe to say that the Coalition has benefited greatly from his involvement and we certainly would not be as well off as we are without him. The Club has benefited greatly too.

I am happy Mike returned to the NWC and am delighted to see him achieve the AAA's highest rank!

Three cheers for Field Marshal Sir Michael Davies, 1st Earl of Glamorgan K.C.B.!!
