St John Scotland Angus and Dundee Volunteer Event

St John Scotland Angus and Dundee held a get-together of volunteers on the 2nd of April. The event was organised to thank volunteers for all their efforts. 

The event also provided an excellent opportunity to present four St John Scotland volunteers with their ten-year service medal.

All awards were presented by the Chair of Angus and Dundee Sandy Bowman MBE OStJ.
