A Resolven Incoming Resident awarded BEM

Mr David James and his wife Genene moved to the village of Resolven 18 months ago and David immediately applied for membership to join Resolven Bowls Club. David has a prestigious background in the lawn green bowling sport and was a long standing and loyal member in the County of Ceredigion, formerly Carmarthenshire BA.

He served as County Bowling Association Secretary for 32 years and has recently been awarded the British Empire Medal, which is awarded in recognition of meritorious civil or military service.

The award was presented to David by His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Dyfed, Miss Sara Edwards in the Council Chambers, Penmorfa, Aberaeron.

Receiving the BEM must have been an emotional and rewarding experience and certainly a badge of honour to be very proud of. We send our congratulations to David on his achievements.

David is now looking forward to enjoying his bowls with his new local club in Resolven. We wish him well and welcome him and his wife Genene to the village.
