Our Chairman Wilf Langford, accompanied by his wife Jean, recently received well deserved public recognition for the tremendous work he does for the Shropshire Art Society. This took the form of a Mayor’s Gold Award in the Community category, presented recently, at an impressive and well attended evening at The Guildhall, by Beverley Baker, the current Mayor of Shrewsbury.
This annual ceremony recognises contributions made by individual residents and groups, working to enhance the life of the town and benefit their fellow citizens. Wilf was surprised but delighted to receive this recognition, which followed a nomination by a small group of SAS Committee colleagues. Not only did the Award recognise Wilf’s sterling work over many years for our Society but also the contribution the organisation (he so ably leads) makes to the lives of our many members, as well as to the wider cultural life of the Town.
Congratulations Wilf!
