Over the twenty five years I’ve known Mike both as a friend and as a colleague team member, I’ve shared many days on the hill with him, I’ve shared many call outs with him, indeed I’ve shared many fall outs with him! I’ve shared exercises and the fun times as well as the sad times with Mike, as have a great many other team members. Mike personally and on behalf of everyone present here tonight, congratulations on your twenty five years in this team, and here’s to the next twenty five years, well done.”
