Hi Harry Cheques in the post re NMA. Thanks for the offer to stay theres a chance we may be doing a charity walk up Ben Nevis later in the year so we may just take you up on you on it?regards Frank

Much appreciated Terry address is Anan Lavan Main Street New Luce Scotland DG80AJ tel 01581600350. Any donation payable to Mr H Waugh. Frank the address is good as a place to stay for your walking group if you fancy a trundle on the Southern Upland Way this summer I have a bit more to do before I have completed. You could perhaps get 4-5 legs in using my place.

Hi Harry Thanks for the information regarding the Denbury Boys Memorial a group of us are attending the dedication followed by a few days walking in Snowdonia. Our walking party is Myself Chris Endean Bob Wathen Bernie temmen and Bob tells me Phil Kirk is also definately attending?Really appreciate all you have done in finalising the details and look forward to attending on the 26th May!Regards FrankPS. Please let me know how to donate?

Harry I have the db assc funds and as Mike Butchers has suggested Il get it out and send the money to you for the deficit. Youll have to send me your home address and Ill send you a cheque will take a few days or so as I have to get counter signatures etc and draw it out from the account.regards terry.

I have today received a letter dated the 2nd April 2013 from the Grounds Administrator at the National Memorial Arboretum.She says:-Dear Mr WaughI am pleased to inform you that the new hardwood bench dedicated to Denbury Boys is in place.It was nice to meet you last week and pleased you are happy with the location of the tree and Bench.I hope your dedication goes well in MayKindest RegardsRachael HaynesThat concludes our fundraising and placement in respect of the Bench and tree.Our fundraising acount re the above is as follows.Start date 01/01/2011 opening Balance 0.00Income from fundraising and donations 948.00Expenses re purchase of Tree and Bench 1 063.00End Date 04/04/2013 closing balance -115.00To hold a bespoke Dedication on the 26th May 2013 will cost a further amount which we do not have. If enough interest in attending had been shown I would have been cheaky and asked for a donation on the day to cover some of the extra costs.However as you know not many of us will be there so I have decided to just use the dedicated rememberance service at 11am for those who wish to attend followed by a visit to the RCS site where Bench and Tree are located. I have asked a couple of people to say a few words on site so I will confirm with them to see if they still wish to do so. I would like to express my thanks to Jackie for her fundraising efforts and to those individuals who donated to the fund.Have funHAM

Thats me back in New Luce.Will update later on what is happening down at NMA re our tree and bench (tree is in place Bench foundation is laid) visited there last week on my way home. Will also post a few pics of Joe and Tony from my visit to downunderland.Meanwhile happy birthday Joe et.al.I have a tenant leaving a 1 bed cottage at the end of May DG80AJ. Anyone interested in a better life style (you have to be a little nuts)send email for info.AS an aside the tenant has already left he has been banged up for flashing (I missed all the fun)however he has paid up front and I still have to give him his two months notice.Have funHarry Waugh (K Troop 60-62)

Hi FrankI had planned to hold a service and dedication re our tree and plaque plus Bench on the 26th May 2013 at 12 noon.However there is very little interest from the boys certainly not enough to justify additional expense. Some have decided to boycott and others have been quite abusive for whatever reason. Some of us who are attending the K Troop reunion on that weekend and anyone else who is interested (currently 8)can attend the normal remembrance church service on site at 11am (it is possible for one of us to say a few words at this service) then just meander down to our Bench/tree site for 12 noon where perhaps others may wish to say a few words. The Bench is being sited at the RCS memorial site next to the Langleben Bench with the tree/plaque behind the bench.I will post details in the next couple of weeks once I have final numbers in and have drawn up accounts re our fundraising for the tree plaque and bench.Regards Harry Waugh

Can anyone provide information about the proposed tree planting service at The National Memorial Arboretum 26th May 2013 Timing agenda attendance ? Where to meet ? Thanks Frank
