memorial bench
In 2021, we unveiled a bench in memory of Sandie Hern and Jim Copper. This year we added a plaque to the bench in memory of our founder's dad, James Ronald Owen. This plaque was originally meant for the National Memorial Arboretum but unfortunately, permission was denied from the trustees of the memorial to add it, despite many others being added.
It now has pride of place on the bench at Weston.
With the help of our Volunteers, we raised £1396 for next year's event. An amazing total. Thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund for funding the accommodation this year and for the Veterans Foundation for funding the entertainment and trip to the Tank Museum.
Special thanks to Sue Long, Marion Baker and their families for the cakes. Janet Barton for selling her handmade goods. Laura Jackson for providing the raffle tickets and Quiz trophy. SJ and Jason Evans for providing the teak oil for Sandie & Jim's bench and adding the second coat after Mel, Laura and Joseph had added the first coat.
For everyone who provided a raffle prize, purchased a ticket and donated, we thank you. So many memories were made and we look forward to 2023.
