Thanks to generous donations at Barnsley 2012 and through the sales of Denbury wall plaques I have been able to purchase a new website with a much lower annual maintenance fee...it will be up and running very soon and hoping for a seamless transfer between servers but if it does go down please do not think it is gone...it will be back ASAP...will be without the PDF files for a while as these need to be updated and links made so it will be an easier to find in the future...

Below a copy of the email sent today to NMA. need someone to take on the organisation of a mini reunion and talk to NMA whilst I am away.Hello LynneThe weekend of the 25th May2 013 with a small tree & Bench dedication at site for up to 120 people would be fine for Denbury Boys.Area 75 tree 20. Next to The Langeleben Bench an appropriate place given the connection of some boys with Langeleben and associated functions.At this stage I do not know about a church service or Padre or any seating/disabled facilities and I feel we would be happy with your normal canteen arrangements.I or someone else will let you know before I go away depending on who I can persuade down your neck of the woods to take on the organisation.However either a mobile flag pole or your main flag pole for our Denbury flag would be required.It is hoped to combine a Denbury Boys troop reunion on the Saturday so will look to Sunday for dedication at noonRegardsHarry Waugh

BerylNo need to apologise. Life is never fair and everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I just wish we could do more for a Denbury Boy that is having an hard time.Its nice to know that his family was there.Chalky

FAO Jim White Will Gladly send a tenner. not much I know but if all the lads made a donation of the same there would be more than enough How do I get it to you? Regards Eddie.

F.A.O Colin Robertson thanks for that Colin will have a search and see whats what. F.A.O Steve Wright glad to hear all went well in Barnsley and that everyone enjoyed themselves Jims email would be great cheers mate.

Beryl keep smiling we all love you. Tree & Plaque at NMAOK tree is now in the capable hands of Rachael at NMA 6-8 weeks to completion she is also dealing with our bench and is awaiting final funds and spring for base laying and site preparation which she says will be April 2013.We need to think about a small dedication on site.I have May 2013 in mind and have asked the question re dates and arrangements to Lynne at NMA who deals with such things.Keep free space around that time if you wish to be there. Perhaps a mini troop reunion weekend in the area; if anyone living in that neck of the woods wishes to organise?Do we have a Chaplin or someone who could take a service amongst our numbers?Have funHarry Waugh
