Agenda
1. Lorraine Stevens
Several of the Group were able to attend Lorraine’s funeral on 28th May at Arun Crematorium. Those who attended can share their memories of the farewell to such a vibrant and wonderful member of our Group.
Marion – describes the day. Full house. A good reminiscence, non-religious.
We will miss her.
2. VE Day Summary
Lizzie to summarise May 10th. Amazing feedback…
3. VJ Day 15th August
Lizzie, Roger & Marion to offer proposal for a modest commemoration of VJ Day on 15th August. Ideas (Lizzie & Kevin Watson) –
Memorial stone in Old Rectory Gardens, but its expensive… feelers put out to RAFA and The Sea Cadets. Bugler (£100), contemporary readings (Sarah), St Mary’s Church Choir… Gazebo with boards?
Roger suggests The Kohima Epitaph:
“When you go home, tell them of us, and say For your tomorrow, we gave our today.”
4. The Fete 12th July
We have a stand at the fete on July 12th in Rectory Gardens. Repeat what we had at VEDay 80…
