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.!!

Let us celebrate with all the Hedonator's one can drink!! (Two troughs for Sir Muddy's Horse! :D ) Food and music too!! Men of Harlech - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq8iS3VBNpw

:thumbsup: :frenchcool

Well well, blown me down chaps, I am abashed, humbled, honoured and delighted all at once, I haven't felt this good since that night after Talavera, remember, in the tavern, where we found that rum supply and that delightful young woman, what was her name now? Esmerelda? I forget, age don't you know, sorry, rambling.......

My absence form the club was too long, but I am delighted to have been able to get stuck back in, I've had a brilliant time since coming back and this has genuinely made me smile. Thank you very much for the honour, the games and the friendship.

Now, Gregor is absolutely correct, the drinks and cheroots are most definitely on me, let's drink until we can't drink any more! This may take some time.

First toast, The King! Please propose the next gentlemen............

Helga! A toast for the Tavern to the new Field Marshal. Well deserved, well deserved. Only the best English Ale tonight; well some of that Belgian brew is also acceptable. Salute!

Apologies for being late to the party - so deserved, I have no more space to bury my horses. Many congratulations and a full barrel of fine brandy for you good sir, for I am bloody mud under your mount's well manicured hooves.

:frenchlol:

Huzzah!

Congratulations Sir!
A second toast is to be accompanied by the bottle of Chateau Gisors 1748 acquired in the recent cossacks raid to Normandy!

Congratulations Mike. Apart from what is clearly a very deserved recognition, it makes me feel better to have just been soundly thrashed by a Field Marshall. Twice.

Cheers

Jonathan
