Paying our respects to Viv Allen

Ladies

Arrangements for Friday remain the same as those previously posted.

8th May @ 12 noon
Blue bell hill crematorium

I thank you for letting me know if you are able to attend.  Roy is very happy so many of us can be there and we can all pay our respects and be united which will help us all - over 30 ladies are able to make the day. Helen Cornwell has seen Roy, and I confirm that if you wish then he and the family have no problem with us wearing our club jumpers/colours which Viv was so proud of.  I will be wearing mine so I leave this to each individual as you feel comfortable.

If possible, can we car share on Friday ?  I am sure this is already being arranged but I would ask you to organise where possible as I am sure there could be parking limitations.

Our section has been generous in giving donations to remember our friend Viv.

We will be arranging cheques to be sent to the nominated charities shortly. In excess of £300 has been collected so I will ensure the family have a list of everyone who has donated in a remembrance card which I will send from us all. I know some of the section have done individual donations so I am sure Roy and the family are more than overwhelmed during this sad time.

The florist in West Malling is preparing an IRIS coloured floral spray which will be sent from the WMGC ladies section. The cost of this is £60 and I will agree with the committee this week what will be paid from the ladies funds so I hope you are all in agreement with this arrangement. I waited until we knew what the family had organised so as to fit in.

Finally, I know that you all remain sad but I am very proud of how we have united and are able to support each other.  It makes me proud to be a part of our section and be able to be your lady captain. Many of you have asked if I need anything and the answer is no. I just hope we are doing Viv proud.

God bless g
