This afternoon this notice was posted on my Facebook by Nicole King.

It reads: Red Cross Málaga 2013 Award Ceremony to be held in Marbella Our very own Maurice Boland is to receive one of the Red Cross' most prestigious awards, the Bronze Medal, in recognition of his continued support of the Red Cross Málaga and other charities throughout his career on the Costa del Sol. Those of us who know Maurice recognise not only his incomparable talent as a radio presenter (interviewer) and entrepreneur but also his gift for fundraising and the help that this has provided to so many of those in need. The official Award ceremony will be held this year at the Palacio de Congresos in Marbella this coming Tuesday, 22nd october 2013 at 6pm in the Salon Azul. Congratulations to Maurice and to all the other worthy recipients of this year's Red Cross distinctions. I feel honoured by this. It Certainly has brightened up what has been a rough few weeks healthwise (thank G-D back on the road to recovery)
