Elmore FC
October
By Royal Appointment – Jed goes to the Palace
Elmore Football Club Chairman, Jed
Hewitt mixed with royalty on Monday,
October 7.
Jed was at the Palace at the
invitation of HRH The Duke
of Cambridge, President of
the Football Association on
the occasion of the FAs 150th
Anniversary, to attend the FA
Grassroots Heroes reception
at Buckingham Palace at which
he was presented with medals
before sitting down to lunch.
Jed attended the reception
with his wife Caroline.
Jed was voted the regional
award winner in the FA
Community Awards 2013, and
represented the South West
in the national final alongside
seven other regional winners.
The grassroots hero was
decided by a public vote and
the winner was announced at
Wembley Stadium before the
FA Community Shield match
between Manchester United
and Wigan Athletic in August.
Sadly Jed did not win.
