The 121st NCPF Annual General Meeting took place on Sunday 24 March at Clara Vale Village Hall.
At the end of the meeting, outgoing NCPF President, Alan Wilson ARPS, AFIAP had one last very enjoyable duty to perform. It was to present Dave Coates ARPS, EFIAP/p, MPAGB, APSA, HonPAGB, Hon FIAP of Northallerton Camera Club with the award of Honorary Life Vice-President of the NCPF.
This award was first created in 2003 and is the highest honour that the NCPF can bestow and awards must meet very strict and demanding conditions.
There must never be more than three Honorary Life Vice-Presidents in existence at any one time. The award recognises exceptional service, which must include 40 years club membership with a minimum of 20 years’ service to the Federation, including at least three Executive Officer Posts (excluding Area Reps and Elected Members) or exceptionally long service in a lesser number of posts. As an award recipient, Dave becomes an ex-officio member of the Executive and receives a badge of office. The Honour which cannot be applied for is granted by an AGM upon the recommendation of the Executive and lasts for life
