Huge thank you to Michael Hogg Senior Public Affairs Manager at the Royal Mail for following up on his promise of a special delivery for every Leswalt pupil.
This was in response to the letters which Malcolm and Breagh wrote requesting a gold postbox for the village to represent Vicky Wright and her team’s Gold medal at the Beijing Winter Olympics. Mr Hogg had replied by saying that this, unfortunately, was not possible as it was only done in the year of the 2012 ‘home’ Olympics. However, he promised to send a special set of commemorative stamps for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee for every Leswalt Primary pupil. And he was as good as his word, as these arrived on Mrs Baillie’s desk today!
Thanks must go to Mr Hogg for going that extra mile and thinking about us all. Thanks also to Malcolm and Breagh for using their initiatives and writing the letter of request in the first place!
Plans are afoot for Leswalt Primary’s own commemoration of Vicky Wright’s Gold and Bobby Lammie’s Silver… more information on that to come!
