This years annual memorial service will be held on Saturday 12th September 2009, the service starts at 11.30am
This years service will be held in the ampitheatre which is situated to the rear of the chapel, guests are therefore requested to dress for an outdoor service. The service will be followed by a parade down to the Ulster Ash Grove for the laying of wreaths. The parade will form up for march off at 12.15pm by the Polar Bear near to where the train for the AFM departs.
Following the laying of the wreaths, there will be a 15 minute pause before the parade forums up for the return march to the visitor centre during which the guest of honour will take the salute.
The service is open to all and all associations are welcome to parade thier standards. It would be appreciated if Associations arranging for groups of their members to attend could notify us of numbers and confirm if their standard will be parading.
A reception desk will be manned just inside the visitors centre and we will be only too pleased to give you any assistance or answer any questions. If you have considered joining us, you can bring your documentes with you and have a chat with our membership secretary.
We look forward to welcoming you to our annual memorial service
