It’s fantastic that so many people from Monifieth, Carnoustie, Arbroath, and surrounding areas, are gathering together to show their support for Sport Relief 2012. We want this to be the best Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile yet – so raise your game, enter the Monifieth Mile today and join the rest of the nation to raise plenty of cash for an incredible cause!”

As well as the Sport Relief Mile, there will be stalls and additional activities, such as the discounted swim, face and nail painting, hotshots, speed gates, tombola, and cake and candy. Refreshment stalls will also be on hand. Radio North Angus will be providing entertainment to motivate participants who can choose their own distance, from 1, 3 or 6 miles, and can complete in any way they fancy. From teeny tots with their mums and dads, to super sprinters, there’s something for everyone on the big day.

Radio North Angus is grateful to Mrs Georgiana Osborne, Lord Lieutenant of the County of Angus, for recording a Christmas message to our audiences.
The message highlighted events during the year, including the Royal Wedding at which she, and husband, James, were present.
She paid tribute to the citizens of the county, 45 Royal Marine Commando based at Condor, Arbroath, the recipients of the 2011 Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, and to the organisations and individuals involved in voluntary roles throughout Angus.
The message was broadcast at 1110 hours on Christmas Eve, copies of which can be made available on request.

The Lord Lieutenant of Angus, is the British monarch’s personal representative in an area which was defined by the Lord-Lieutenants (Scotland) Order 1996 consisting of the unitary Angus council area.

The lieutenancy area was previously defined by the Lord Lieutenants (Scotland) Order 1975 as consisting of the Angus district, which was one of three districts of the two-tier Tayside Region created by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 and abolished by the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994, which divided the region between the Angus, Dundee City, and Perth and Kinross council areas. Prior to the 1975 order the lieutenancy area was the county of Angus, which was officially the county of Forfar until 1928.

The office was founded in 1794, and has had the following titles:

His or Her Majesty’s Lieutenant in the County of Forfar until 1928
His or Her Majesty’s Lieutenant in the County of Angus 1928 to 1975
