Last month’s solution... £50 PRIZE CROSSWORD Crossword sponsored by UIA Adrian Walsh has been an active member of the RMT union for over 37 years, during which time he served as an illustrious RMT company council representative for the train guards at Horsham depot, whilst he worked for Southern railway. As many would attest that regardless of your job role or grade within Southern railway, Adrian was always there to lend a helping hand to any members to represent them. Adrian was well respected and well known for his skill as a good negotiator, which came in handy many times. Adrian’s many skills also include performing card tricks, as well as being known to have a strong passion for fishing. Although a bit earlier than he anticipated, Adrian felt that the time had come to to take his retirement. Banjo Adesanya said that Three Bridges branch invited NEC member Paul Burton and South-East regional organiser Paul Cox to do the honours at a retirement get together for Adrian. “We wanted to show our appreciation for his level of commitment to us as a union over the last 37 years,” he said. During the get together Paul Cox presented Adrian with a hip flask and the branch secretary Dave Crawford presented Adrian with a bottle of Malt Whisky, which was donated by branch members. Adrian is looking forward to starting a new chapter of his life and as a now retired. THREE BRIDGES AWARD
