Sound the trumpets, beat the drums

[Steve Ashton]

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Sound the trumpets and beat the drums.



Trefor (McClef) has chosen to retire from the forum staff after over 11 years of service.

Trefor joined X Marks on 26 Aug 2006.
He was asked to join the staff on the 9th of June 2009. This is before we even had Moderators.

Trefor has served with honor and distinction in many capacities, most recently as Forum Moderator. He has lent his council and advice to many other Moderators and I would like to personally thank him for the council he has given me.

Would you all join me in thanking Trefor for his many years of service to X Marks and wish him well as a recipient of our highest recognition. Induction to the X Marks Honor Roll.

[Jock Scot]

I shall be sorry to see you retire Trefor, but after many years of stalwart service here, I think no one can accuse you of not doing your bit! Thank you for all you have done.

[Stitchwiz]

Thank you, Trefor, for your many years of service to help make X Marks all that it has become.

Congratulations on your induction to the X Marks Honour Roll!

[Tarheel]

Here, Here Trefor. Removal of my hat in respect, raising of glass and begging any speech you may offer. Thank You.

[Richrail]

Thank you for your service.

[Father Bill]

The team will definitely miss our senior member, and I for one will be sorry not to have the balanced and level perspective of an unmet man who has become a good though geographically distant friend.

We're lucky that he will still be a fine and respected member of the Forum!

[Liam]

Thanks Trefor. What a run...11 years of putting up with us. You deserve more than an honour role designation.
Cheers.....

[ASinclair]

Thanks and Congratulations Trefor!

[Macman]

Trefor, thank you for your effort on our behalf as moderator, and congratulations on your induction!

[GMan]

I shall miss his moderation skills.
