Memorial Post

Hey all

Slightly belated post about the memorial, but I was waiting for a photo.

The sign language crew had to head up to join our sister group nearly two hours away, so slight logistical headache of picking up studies along the coast ensued whilst trying to get there on time. As it happened, our bus got too full so I had to get off and wait on the road for another to come. I arrived just before the emblems, so all was good. We had 91 in attendance with 52 deaf, which is a good showing. The memorial was held at the town hall and was a lovely venue. Due to the nature of our gathering, the town hall even decided to waive the fees, which was a real blessing as the cost of travelling alone is a hardship for many.

Our English congregation of Skeldon had their memorial at the hall and had 238 present, that's at a cong with 70-odd publishers! We rushed back from the memorial to meet a load of them at the local chicken takeaway. Thoughtfully, they had saved some of the memorial wine for me to taste! Unknowing that it was the memorial wine, I forewent a cup and swigged straight of the bottle, which they thought was hilarious. There is even photo-evidence. Whoops.

Hope everyone had a lovely turnout at their respective memorials.
