End of Day 23

The end of the penultimate day and a great day with brilliant receptions at all the headquarters we visited. We started with a visit to Cambridgeshire Police HQ in Huntingdon where we were met by ACC Mark Hopkins and a cheque. We then pressed on to Kempston near Bedford where Chief Constable Gillian Parker who is also a CVOC trustee greeted us with a presentation and a great lunch. Then on to Hertfordshire Police HQ which Chris Johnson, who was navigating whilst Steve was away picking Trevor up at the station, had a slight navigation problem and thought the police headquarters was in Hertford - logical except it is in Welwyn Garden City! So unfortunately, we put another eight miles on to our day which we did not need at this time. So anyway when we eventually arrived at the police headquarters where we were met by Deputy Chief Constable Simon Parr together with a number of supporters and another great cheque.
Tonight we are all staying with Paul Holroyd (CVOC trustee) and his lovely wife Trish and family in Royston, enjoying a great barbecue and ready for the final lap tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the final day when we go to London and the BTP in Camden, on to the Met at NSY and then finally the City of London Police - when it will be all over.
