Long Service Awards

Update on Wolseley Register Long Service Awards
Jenny Ryder

Silver Award – 25 years membership
Gold Award – 40 years membership

Long Service Awards are presented to current members who first joined the Register at least 25; over 40 or even 50 years ago and who have been continuous members.  Those attaining 25 years membership receive a Silver Award and a Gold Award is presented to those who have reach the 40 year status.  We are now delighted to be able to recognise members who have been in the Register for an amazing 50 years!

These awards are a small but important way for the Register to recognise the greatly appreciated loyalty and support of long-standing members residing both in the UK and across the globe.

Awards have been made annually since 2011 when the first 25 were presented at that year’s National Rally.  The first 4 recipients of the Gold Award for attaining 40 years membership are pictured below:

The first four gold awards were presented  at the 2011 National Rally

The first member to attain 50 years continuous membership was Ray Burgess who joined the Register in 1968, just 4 years after it’s inception.  Members who have achieved 50 years membership have now reached double figures!

Three Platinum (50 years) and 8  Gold Awards have been achieved this year. Wherever possible, these are presented to individuals during the year at Regional and National events to allow the committee to personally thanks every member who has demonstrated such commitment.   Where awardees are Joint Members they are both presented with a badge.  If necessary, awards are mailed out.

The full list of 2024 awardees was published in the March/April issue of Wolseley World.  Several awards were presented at the 2024 National Rally including a Platinum Certificate to the Wolseley Register’s current President who has previously held the posts of National Chairman and North East Regional Chairman.  Another Platinum Certificate was awarded to the long-serving South East Regional Treasurer who was the National Events Officer in 1983-4 when he jointly organised the National Rally with the Morris Register at Stanford Hall.

A 40 year award was presented to a South West Member at the Beaulieu International Autojumble in September:

Awards made to date (including this year’s qualifying members) total 202 Silver,  58 Gold and 15 Platinum.  This represents approx. 1/3 of the current membership. Whilst new members continue to join us every week, it is heartening to know that so many have remained constant for more than a quarter of a century, and over half a century in several cases!

The furthest travelled to collect an award is Paul Billing who was presented with his Silver Award for 25 years membership at the 2016 North East Regional event at Newby Hall. This award was actually due in 2015 but New Zealand members Paul and Noeline were coming to the UK in 2016 and opted to collect the award in person!

The Youngest Member to have already attained 25 years Membership received his award at the Classic Motor Show at the NEC in November 2018:

Further awards will continue to be made as members attain 25, 40 or 50 years membership of the Register.  Any member who has not yet received an award but feels perhaps they should have done so, should contact the Membership Secretary for confirmation of their records.

Wolseleys at Tatton Park: Last Saturday 8 June, the North West group of the Wolseley Register were invited to join the Cambridge Oxford Owners Club and Landcrab Owners Club International on their stand which had a 1960s sales theme, hence the stickers on one of the windscreens. You can see from the ominous skies that they didn't stay dry! ... See MoreSee Less
