Yesterday's Glasgow Times, well done everyone best service ever in my opinion.
Folk, I've been asked by the Council to give them a Guestimate of how many would attend AFD Glasgow on 28th June ( Remember we don't have a Branch meeting in June)
Note there will be no parade, just a Civic Reception, where ( but don't qoute me) if like recent years there probably won't be any alcohol.
Pleas let me know if you would like to attend.
Thank you to Ellen for your support. Your funding went a long way, the Garden now is even more Beautiful.
John and Micheal came up and lent a hand.

Good Evening Terry
I wanted to take a moment to thank you sincerely for attending Jimmy’s funeral service on Monday and for carrying the Parachute Regimental Standard. Your presence and support during this difficult time meant a great deal to us and was a fitting tribute to his memory.
We are deeply grateful for your respect and service.
Warm regards,
Colin
Great time had by all having been surprisingly invited by this charity which none of us were aware of, all free of charge.
