Bob Rankin our County Web Manager, was
singularly honoured with the presentation of the
Regional Certificate of Appreciation for his
work on the Honour The Covenant Campaign. The
presentation was made by Alistair Maxwell, Field
Manage (Midlands) Royal British Legion at the
annual County Conference held at the
Staffordshire Moorlands District Council
Chamber in Leek on Sunday 13th January 2008.
The Regional Certificate has never been awarded
before in the Midlands Region. This means it is
a first for the Region and a first for North Staffordshire
County.
Alistair
Maxwell’s citation read:
“It has been brought to my attention by many
people that the North Staffordshire Web Site is
an example of an exceptional County Web site.
However, the timely introduction of a new
opening page to promote the Honour The Covenant
campaign shows professionalism that deserves
recognition. The skill and commitment that you
continue to show in providing the expertise to
maintain and continually improve and update this
site, and it's associated sites, is outstanding.
Please accept my sincere thanks on behalf of the
Royal British Legion in the Midlands for your
dedication which has resulted in a web site
which is of great benefit to all in your County
and an example of what we should be striving to
achieve nationally. I have great pleasure in
awarding you a Regional Certificate of
Appreciation for your work in furthering the
cause of the Royal British Legion. It is
especially shown in your use of your skills and
expertise to provide a web service which is
current, informative and interesting to all. The
new front page and the content of the site for
the Honour The Covenant campaign was seen by
many and complimented by all. It exemplifies the
use of electronic communication to reach as wide
and varied an audience as possible.
In awarding this Certificate we, in the
Midlands, are formally acknowledging your
dedication and your professionalism which you
have used, on behalf of the Royal British
Legion, for the benefit of the Midlands Region -
its members, staff and clients alike.”

(Midlands) also wrote:
"This is the first certificate to be
awarded with the Midlands Region.
The decision has been made that these
certificates will be awarded only for
exceptional contributions that are of particular
importance to the Region - your work on the
Region's web sites and, in particular, your work
using the web site to promote the Honour the
Covenant campaign are a superb example of what
should be recognised in this way.
Please accept my congratulations on what is a
much deserved recognition of the valuable work
you continue to do for the Royal British Legion
in the Midlands Region."
