The King's Award

 On the 14th November, on the occasion of King Charles' 75th birthday, it was announced that the Framework Knitters Museum had been given The King's Award for Voluntary Services.  This is the highest award a group can get, and is equivalent to an MBE.  The etched crystal trophy will be presented by the Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire on the King's behalf later.  On the day, we, that is all 52 members of the volunteer team, of which I am very proud to be a part, got a commemorative royal purple badge.  I also got a pesonal letter detailing all the things I have done for the museum over the years (it would make me blush to quote from it here).  And took part in a live interview for Radio Nottingham - available for 28 days.
