NOMINATIONS are invited for the annual Jamie Fleming Award, which will be presented to a young person from the Crediton area who has done something outstanding or exceptional.

The award is given in memory of Lance Corporal Jamie Fleming, from Spinning Path Gardens, Crediton, who spent four-and-a-half years in the Army, in the Royal Signals based in Brawdy, Pembrokeshire.

He died, aged 21 years, following a road accident on Good Friday in 2014 on the A487 Felindre Farchog to Cardigan Road.

Despite his young age, he had a highly-regarded military career.

Born in Milton Keynes, the Fleming family moved to Crediton when Jamie was aged one and he attended both Hayward’s Primary School and Queen Elizabeth’s in Crediton. He then went to Exeter College with the Army’s Further Education Bursary scheme.

If you know of a young person you would like to suggest for the award, please contact Alan Quick as soon as possible at the “Crediton Courier” on 01363 774263 or email: [email protected] .

Please include as much detail about the young person and the contribution they make or have made.

Applications will be considered by a panel of trustees and the Award will be presented at the Crediton Town Council End of Term Reception in May.
