Thanks must go to everyone involved - the organisers, Maggie and her team for the excellent refreshments, Sam & Jackie in the office for dealing with the ticket sales and all those who came and supported.

The Bric a Brac events in the Northey Room are proving very successful. So far we have raised nearly £100 over the first weekend and more than £200 over the second weekend. So its a big thank you to everyone who came along to buy and also a big thank you to the volunteers for setting this up and giving up their time.

So now we would like your help by bringing along more bric a brac. I am sure that during the lockdown you have had the chance for a bit of a sort out so if you have items at home that you no longer want but you think that they are items that we could sell to raise funds for the cemetery then please bring them along on any Saturday or Sunday between 10.30am and 1.00pm and while you are there why not have a browse at what's on offer.

We hope that Resurrection Man is a great success and once again thank you.

It was an enjoyable time at the Young Persons Day on Sunday. Mums and Dads joined the children in learning new circus skills, and following the discovery trails around the cemetery.

A fun, family day had by all.

Many thanks to B Company Army Cadets who helped with the organising, laid out an interesting mini assault course and carried out some camouflage face painting.

Thank you to the lady who bought all of the volunteers cakes.

A big thank you to Margery who planned the whole event and made it happen.

Our next event is on Thursday 6th September at 7.30pm in the Victorian Chapel when Philip Photiou will be giving a talk on "The 1643 Siege of Plymouth" (not the 1683 Siege of Plymouth which the flyer incorrectly announces!!! Our error, not Philip's) .

Tickets for Philip's talk, priced £3, are available from Ford Park Cemetery Office or at the Door.
