My Declaration Ceremony took place on Friday 22nd March at Maesteg Sports Centre, and was attended by many friends and family from my community and a host of dignitaries.
What an incredible day it was. The preparation for the day was over many months and although a daunting prospect to be assuming such an historic role. It was satisfying to see all the elements coming together so well, and all the guests enjoying a unique event.
Outgoing High Sheriff, Professor Jean White CBE MStJ is no easy act to follow after her full on year, visiting and supporting the many organisations, statutory and voluntary that contribute so much to our County of Mid-Glamorgan. I look forward to an equally successful year in office.
I made my Declaration witnessed by the Lord Lieutenant of Mid Glamorgan Professor Peter Vaughan QPM, His Honour Judge Paul Hopkins KC, Jeff Edwards MBE DL JP OStJ and the many guests that attended.
