In line with trying to promote the Association for future projects a letter was sent to the powers that be to invite ex-Jupiter crew Member and SCO HRH The Prince of Wales to be our Patron. There were many hoops to jump through, including a ‘Mission Statement’, financial and charity statements and of course recommendations from influential people. After a nail biting few months, we finally received a letter confirming that HRH had accepted our invitation, this was duly proclaimed to the Association Members and guests at the recent Reunion in Lichfield. We are very privileged for this as very few new Patronages are taken on by the POW each year, we must of course use this accolade wisely and to further the good name of the Association.
