A.A. Security volunteers gain deserved praise

Security Officer Michael took on role of Stage Manager and security - left of picture.

We have had heaps of praise from the Redbridge Carnival Committee and the East Ilford Business Partnership for the voluntary security provided by us at the Redbridge Carnival 2011 (held 10th - 11th September) and Redbridge Peace Concert 2011 (held 24th September). Both events were a huge success and had no major incident.  In fact during the Redbridge Peace concert a mother who was not watching the event thanked the security team who located a missing child in a matter of seconds.

We are aware that some of you covered all 3 days and cannot express our appreciation enough.  At a time so soon after the London riots that affected Redbridge more than the media portrayed, events like those mentioned above play a role in the restoration of peace.  Our input was no less important than other volunteers and your commitment for this unpaid role was gracious indeed.

With over 25 of our Security officers participating in these events we feel as if our contribution to this local community was significant.

Redbridge Police have said that the operation of years procession was better than in previous years and considering we have never had any serious incidents, that is a real impressive achievement.

Well done one and all.
