FORMATION OF THE ASSOCIATION

In the summer of 2003 all recipients were contacted and asked for their endorsement to establish an Association. All original recipients were contacted and unanimously supported the establishment of the Association. The Members also voted to approve the nominations for membership of the Executive Committee.

OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSOCIATION

The Objectives of the Association are to :

• Recognise the exclusivity of the QVRM, awarded in recognition of outstanding and meritorious service in the Volunteer Reserves of the United Kingdom.

• Promote the ethos of Reserve Forces.

• Maintain a register of recipients for posterity.

• Promote and foster the distinctive and tri-Service aspects of the QVRM amongst its recipients.

• Create a forum, via an Annual Dinner, for recipients to commemorate the institution of the QVRM.
