Remembrance Sunday. For many years Penkridge Round Table has been asked to take part in the Remembrance Parade. So I felt very proud, and honoured, as Chairman to take part this year and lay a wreath at the war memorial. We had eight Tablers in the parade, followed by a Church service; where due to numbers we were seated opposite the choir – not that it did much to improve our singing.
This was one of the occasions when I was able to wear the Table Chairman chain of office (a ribbon with the name of each of the past Chairmen); so when leaving the church and shaking the vicar’s hand I was surprised to be asked if I was the Mayor!
With the Parade over we rejoined our wives and families, for a few drinks in The Star.
Sunday evening had a meeting in The Keys to continue planning for the Sportsmans Dinner. As always this is a charity event, and will be at the County Showground, Stafford on Friday 5th February. It will feature Alan Minter, the voice of cricket Pat Murphy and Wolves' Steve Daley. Cost £35, dress code - lounge suits.
