RESOLVED:

 

In pursuance of Section 249 of the Local Government Act 1972, the Council of the London Borough of Barnet hereby do confer upon Saracens Rugby Football Club the Honorary Freedom of the London Borough of Barnet (being the most honourable award it is in the Council’s privilege to bestow).  This highest honour is to be granted in recognition of the club’s sporting success and for the way in which Copthall stadium has been brought back into full use by the club and the community. The generous way in which Saracens have contributed to the common good is an example for all organisations, and the London Borough of Barnet celebrates their part in the continuing success of our borough.

 

In conferring the Honorary Freedom on Saracens Rugby Football Club, the Council is formally recording the high esteem in which it is held by the Council and the community and recognising its invaluable contribution to the life of the borough.
