THE MERCHANT NAVY ASSOCIATION (WALES) Barry Branch
The Year of the Convoy 2013
Annual Seafarers’ Service at the Memorial Hall: The Year of the Convoy 2013:
We are now able to confirm that the date of our Annual Service will be Saturday 21st September 2013. This is our Sixteenth Service and will again be held in the Memorial Hall, Barry at 11.00 AM. The provisional date for next years’ service is Saturday 20th September 2014.
The Reverend M. Davies, honorary chaplain to the Merchant Navy Association (Wales) Barry Branch, will officiate, whilst the Barry Ladies Choir will provide the musical and vocal accompaniment.
The service is open to all organisations and members of the general public. It is especially hoped that family members of serving and former members of the Merchant Navy, Royal Navy and the Royal Fleet Auxiliary will also attend. A collection will be taken during the service towards the cost of the Service and in aid of seafarers’ charities.
In holding a Seafarers’ Service, we acknowledge the vital role played by the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force in convoy duties, also all those who follow the calling of the sea, deep sea fishermen, the life boat service etc.
The presence of Branch Standards will be greatly appreciated at the service. The order of parade being:
The Merchant Navy Associations, The Royal Navy, The Royal Air Force, The Royal British Legion and all other standards.
A branch wreath will be laid prior to the service at the Merchant Navy Monument at 10.20 am with a blessing. All other organizations are welcome to lay wreaths at this event.
After the main service the Barry Ladies and Men’s choirs and the RAF Voluntary band will provide entertainment for an hour or so.
We hope that you will continue to support and assist us in helping us to ensure that this is once again, a successful event.
