After 40 years of faithful service, our Standard has been replaced in a special dedication service held at Stradsett Church on Sunday 7th September 2003. The service was attended by 200 members and their guests.

The service was conducted by padre the Reverend John Freston and Downham vicar Father James Mather, whose parish also includes Stradsett. The Last Post was played by Bill Wells.

Our thanks to Sir Jeremy Bagge for allowing the service to be held at the church and for the use of the stables for refreshments and celebrations after the service

The event was organised by Vice-president Albert Brown who also laid a poppy wreath on the memorial stone of Sir Paul Hawkins a former branch president

Chairman's note: "I would like to thank all those, who thorugh their help and donations made the acquistion of our new standard possible" Horace
