Members of the UKIP South Staffordshire Constituency Association gathered at the Kingfisher Hotel in Wall Heath to celebrate Christmas and the achievements of a stalwart supporter.

UKIP West Midlands MEP Mike Nattrass and Mike Lynch, chairman of the UKIP South Staffordshire branch, joined the festivities on Saturday, December 12 during which he presented Tom McCartney with a tankard in recognition of his long and continuing service to the South Staffordshire Constituency Association and the party.

Mike said: “Tom’s dedication to the branch and indeed the party is truly an example and quite rightly deserves recognition.

“He was worked tirelessly for the South Staffordshire branch serving for many years as treasurer and secretary. He is a credit to the branch and UKIP as a whole,” he added.

Tom added: “I am very grateful for the gift – the tankard was a great choice.

“I joined UKIP a year after it was founded in 1993 and started to go to meetings of the party in London.

“The EU is all about political takeover. The EU is stealing our country from under our feet.”
