Mike has worked for Palethorpes for 15 years. He has cooked 800 chickens a day, produced 1500 litres of filling for hot pies and now makes computer entries for the distribution of the finished products. Mike was a Master Chef in the British Army. He was posted to the local barracks and stayed on in the town when he retired. He has cooked all over the world and for visitors to the various camps in which he has served, including the Queen and Prince Charles. He was a member of the team that made Princess Diana's wedding cake. He occasionally acts as an agency chef. Mike was elected Chairman of the Market Drayton British Legion Club in 1996 and this has become part of his life. With 550 members the club is the biggest social club in town and the lounge bar is a meeting place. Club membership is not confined to service and ex-servicemen and women but, like the club facilities, is open to members of the general public. The club has the largest function room in Market Drayton and caters for private events from Christening parties to Funeral wakes as well as social activities including family nights. |
The club also supports 4 snooker, 2 billiards, 2 pool teams and a darts team. Club members organise the Remembrance Sunday Parade and the Falklands Parade through the town as well as the Mayor's Annual Charity Dance. They raise funds for the annual Poppy Appeal all year round. The proceeds go to the welfare and benefit of servicemen and women. |
