Pauline Noon
Hon.FBCA
 
It was in 1959 that Miss Pauline Noon became a Director and Company Secretary of Francis Wright (Musical instruments) Ltd as well as co founder of the Charnwood Publishing Company.

She was appointed Secretary of the British College of Accordionists in 1965, a role she stills holds today!. Having played with the BCA Orchestra, BCA Chamber Quartet and Francis Wright Players for a number of years, she is now a member of the Leicester Accordion Orchestra and MD of the LSM Accordion and Guitar Band.

She has been associated with the NAO since 1958, assisting in the organisation of the National Championships "Accordion Day" from 1965 to 1970 as well as the CIA Coupe Mondiale in both 1968 when the event was held in Leicester and 2001 in London.

In 2003 she was chosen to receive the NAO Merit Award in honour of her long service to the accordion. Her long career has been truly astonishing, working long hours, most of the time in the background.

As was stated "Congratulations Pauline, how very deserving you are to receive this award."
