A letter sent to Aftercare Barnardos
|
Barnardos Aftercare, enclosed is the outcome of my meeting with the Vicar of Waterford. He has agreed in principal to my request subject to minor conditions he would like us to meet. That the Memorial is of a slate colour to merge into the existing headstones, and not to be any taller than the original headstone, which he agrees can be placed were one of the headstone’s now stands. I shall approach the residents of Goldings with a view to placing the one removed lying flat in the grounds of Goldings subject to their agreement, as the installer I have spoken to say they will just dispose of it. Also his request is for it to face the Church, so visitor do not walk on other graves, and to have it with a flower container built within the memorial so people don’t just place vases loose by it. I have taken up your idea that you showed me at Barkingside, which I think is fine, but obviously downsized version. I have Included the quote I got locally, but this is subject to Aftercare along with yourself agreeing, as you may have a much more competitive stonemason that Barnardo’s use.
I was hoping that Barnardo’s fund the project and any donations sent towards it could be deducted from your cost, and I think the Guild Messenger is the ideal place for anyone to offer donations towards it. When we have completed the formalities I would hope that it is unveiled on our next reunion day coupled with a service in the church of Waterford, with a small booklet to accompany it.
Many thanks as always for you’re wonderful support that you and Aftercare give us.
Your contact with the Church
The Vicar
I will be sending similar details in a letter to the Vicar, look forward to further developments.

Ignore the message below this,put on by my wife to undermine my attempt to be Knighted.Credit has certainly been heaped on me but you must all realise that many of our team for the reunion keep out of the limelight, but without them the success of the reunion would surely be wanting.
To answer Len,and his concern about the Community Centre,this will be booked shortly,but I thought if all of could next year spend time in the grounds and use the Marquee to display a selection of our photo's in there for all the residents to look at also,and create a gathering of old and new residents for a longer time next year at Goldings,and this I would dearly hope for us all,but that dream at this stage is in the hands of the residents and more of their kindness to come our way.I do hope to meet up with them early next year to see what we can do along these lines,but not to take anthing for granted!

Hi Dave sounds good having the use of the Marquee if all goes well, but it could be cold in the evening, also the people that let us use the Hall we now have may not like it if we dont have it for our next Reunion, its just some thing to look in to . We all have to take our Hat off to you you are allways thinking of what to do so we can all have a wonder full time.
As I have said so many times you are the best thing that ever happend for our Reunion {THANK YOU }
