Dear Phil,

Just a quick note to say thank you to NARPO Swansea for the gift vouchers for my recent milestone birthday.

I was delighted to get them and I am still considering how to spend them on an appropriate gift

I hope that you are all keeping safe and well, avoiding this Covid virus. And hopefully when this is over we can get back to normality and that I once again will be allowed to visit the Principality.

Best regards

Hi Phil,
I realized how remiss it has been of me not to give you any feedback on the damn good job you guys are doing.

Sketty hall was a great venue for the above mentioned as the atmosphere, presentation and food were really great. The only other place which was better was the Dylan Thomas Centre which has now closed.

Again much appreciation for all the work you guys do to keep us better informed.

Kindest regards,

	Hi Phil, I am not a member of Swansea NARPO, but a member of Glamorgan NARPO and NRPOA (Neath Retired Police Officers Assn). I was browsing through your excellent site and was taken with the photo of Penclawdd Police Station where I lived for eleven years in the 1940/50's when my father was a PC there. I was also able to comment on another photo which showed uniformed officers with chevrons on the bottoms of their sleeves. Someone queried what they were and I was able explain that they were 'Merit Class' class stripes. Officers earned them by virtue of their ability. I finished up as Ch. Inspt., at Neath, after 33 years, having served, at Neath, Briton Ferry, Barry, Port Talbot and Swansea. During that time I served on the street, C.I.D. and Pros Dept. Regards, John Lewis. P.s.

	Hi Phil, On behalf of my guests and myself who attended the Christmas Dinner at the Manor Park yesterday, I would like to thank all members of the committee for the work entailed with the organization of the event. We all enjoyed the meal and meeting former work colleagues although once again no luck with the RAFFLE!!! I told the bloke behind the bar after he asked me any luck with the raffle" If I was the only one here I still wouldn't win it" Please convey my appreciation to the committee when you next meet. I must admit first thing in the morning I didn't feel up to attending having been to the health center to give blood and blood pressure tests, but I was glad I made the effort because of my guests, (could't leave them alone with Emrys) the dinner was excellent not having to wash up the dishes was great as well. If all goes well and I am still alive I would recommend returning to The Manor Park next year as I thought the meal was great & Hot, the atmosphere although not as many people as previous years was also very nice. Cheers for now Keith Carne Dec 2015

	Dear Bryon, My apologies for the lateness of this response, but I have a medical issue which has been distracting me. Having said that I was cheered up enormously by the arrival of the gift voucher, which was both unexpected and for which I am most grateful. I shall have to try and suggest this as a good idea to West Mercia NARPO. They are nowhere near as generous. Perhaps you will convey my thanks to the Committee Members. It is good to know that I have not been forgotten, albeit that I departed in 1978 – such a long time ago! Once again many thanks. Kind regards and best wishes Roger Wedlake Nov 2015
