Hi Jimmac,

This is not on the List of Events either on This Board or The Falklands 25 website. The only event listed for this date is a Service in Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral.

If you send me an email in the format of both websites (which is the same) detailing contact details, and send it to both me and the Falklnads25 website at the same time, it will be put on both lists.

I dont mean to seem ignorant, but where is Chorley please?

Joe,

For Gods sake don't get Chorley mixed up with Eccles. They are two totally different cakes, though both from Lancashire, different recipes?????!!!!!

Chorley is about 6miles SOUTH of Preston. Preston is in Lancashire, Lancashire is in the North West of England and England is part of the U.K. M6 jct 28/30 will get you there.
I presume You're coming Joe?

Sadly, I am due to have an ingrowing toenail removed on the 16th. If I do then I definitely wont be coming. However, I may tell them to scrub round it till next year as it doesnt bother my that often. The other reason is that the wound on my leg after my quad bypass in October is only just healing now !!!!! Don't want to be out of action for May, June or July.

The other thing is cost and a full diary for most weekends in May, June and July. I need to save some peenies for my trip to the FI in November and I haven't saved a bean yet!!!!!

hi joe
the parade has been listed on the falklands 25 website also on welsh guards on line hopfully will be a dam good parade if you cant manage to come this year dont worry we are having a parade every year to remember the lads so as certain football managers say 'THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT YEAR'

Hi Folks,

We could make it a two day event if you English Chaps would like to buy us Non English Chaps a few beers on the Monday as it is St Georges Day!!!!!!!!!!!

Stand by to Stand By.

"Stand By"!!!!!

I would urge all members that are able to turn out to this event, it is a great day and worth the effort, i attended for the first time last year with the SAMA Standard and i vowed then that if asked i would attend each year. Come on guys the welcome is great the parade is brill ( not many parades outside of London get Police horse escort) if some of you want to arrive Saturday before the parade on Sunday tell me before Friday 9am crashing accom may be arranged.

Hi

I am now able to attend, I can bring the RNA Standard from Skelmersdale, but, was thinking if you already have 25 Standards would it not be better if I marched in the SAMA Platoon and "bulked" that one up.

Also where is the best place to park, I shall be driving from Skelmersdale in the morning and returning afterwards

Terry

Terry, let the train take the strain and have a few wets with the boys - you know you want to
