Queen's Award for Voluntary Services

On 2nd June 2012, Inverness Hospital Radio was recognised by being awarded The Queens Award for Voluntary Service.

The whole membership were thoroughly overawed by this award, but none more than Donnie Aird, co-founder:

“I am as overawed by receiving this as any of you! I know Alistair & I set this up 40 plus years ago, but without the continuing support and enthusiasm of original, past, on-coming and present members the organisation would not be where it is to-day.

I can only express my thanks to all concerned over the years and hope to meet with you all at a meeting to celebrate the receipt of this prestigious award in the near future.

It is comforting to know that Sheila Gardner was informed of the award prior to her death a few days ago and that she was brought to tears on receiving the news.

Thank's again and well done to everyone concerned!”
