The Mayor of Pendle Councilor Brian Newman surprised former Mayor, County Councillor and Alderman of Pendle, George Adam by calling at his home to present him with his Nuclear Test Veterans Medal, this had been sourced by Mike Sutcliff of the Armed Forces Support group,, and was added to an existing medal George already had, and was a totally unexpected visit set up by the AFSG with Ben Robinson ex Army and AFSG group member giving George some extra support and a few laughs to go with it. George was a former member of the Royal Engineers at the time of the Nuclear Tests on Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean.
After many years giving support to people in Pendle Mr Adam will shortly be leaving the area to live with his daughter in far away Cumbria, we all wish him well.
