Middleham Town Council

Local Resident to Receive an MBE in the New Year's Honours List

The very well deserving recipient is Raye Wilkinson, who was the long standing Racing Welfare Officer here and is still providing welfare support for Mark Johnston's many staff. Raye was also core to the setting up of the original Stables Open Day and coordinated the event for many years.

Raye has supported hundreds of individual stable staff and their families and has been instrumental in raising many thousands of pounds for charity. It is great to see all his valued work and efforts so publicly acknowledged.  We hope he will thoroughly enjoy his day at Buckingham Palace!
