Congratulations Belinda

[roger]

Some of you may have noticed that Belinda has been elevated to the peerage! As from today she is HWI's Special Correspondent. This is in recognition of the work she does for us and as a token of our appreciation.

So congratulations, Belinda. Keep the posts coming! A special correspondent you may be but, to me, you are a very special friend.

I, too, would like to extend my congrtatulations to Belinda. And express how pleased I an to have done the "promotion". Belinda has been a very special friend now for quite some time and is the person who pave the way for my very first meeting with Hayley and Gerald. That was on Sunday, 24th August 2003 at the Faenol Festival in North Wales.

Since then, my relationship, and that of HWI, with Hayley, her family, her manager and Decca has gone from strength to strength. In my opinion, this is in no small part down to Belinda. Something I will always be grateful for.

Thank you Belinda. It is inadequate, but that is all I can say.

Keith.

Hello Belinda!

I would like to add my thanks and congratulations for all the stirring work you do for us and Hayley. I'm going to give a special mention to all the video clips of Hayley in New Zealand, which add so much to the site and make supporting Hayley such a wonderful experience for all of us. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Thank you again, and I hope to meet you one day if you come to London.

Best Wishes,

Richard

Well I've just read Lothar's compliments to Special Correspondent Belinda (he can't post in here ) and it reminded me to add my own thoughts!

Belinda has provided some of the best historical videos of Hayley that exist (if not THE best) and it's wonderful to be able to go back and view them, to see how good Hayley was at such a young age... and how far she has progressed! Very few stars of Music are lucky enough to have such a historical record and I am certain that Hayley... as well as us... will be for ever grateful.

Belinda, I've loved your more recent contributions too, and one thing is certain: whatever NZ reports about Hayley that you can capture, Gerrit (or myself, or one of us!) will be straining at the leash to convert them - and make them available to all Hayley's fans! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Congratulations and cheers,

Hi Belinda,

Congratulations are once again in order, this time for being "moderated"! What next, I wonder? Will you be appearing at the Royal Albert Hall?

Congratulations again Belinda!

It's great to have a lady join the team of moderators, and coming from New Zealand, you're much more "global" than the rest of us! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Best Wishes from London to Christchurch,
