Important events in April.
St. George’s and Friends’ Service on Sunday 21st April at 1030am.
Please do come to this service, it is not only our Chapel Saint’s Day but also the anniversary of the founding of the Friends. We need to show that there is a group of people, known as the Friends of St. George’s RAF Chapel, who are committed to the Chapel as a place of worship, and to the care of the Garden of Remembrance. Last year, 50 people attended, please help to increase that number this year. The number coming to services in the Chapel is very important for the future of the Chapel.
St. George’s RAF Chapel Ceremonial Standard will be paraded for the first time ( gifted by a Friend of the Chapel). Also on parade will be the RAF Regiment Association Standard and Biggin Hill ATC Squadron banner.
The ‘Light in the darkest hour’ lantern, George, will be lit; he represents all who gave their lives for our freedom.
Main Gates will be open at 9.45am and the site is open to the public. The café will be available after the service. It is suggested that you arrive by 10am. Parking is in the museum car park and on the main road, on the opposite side to the Chapel.
Could you help with the parking? Please Margaret Wilmot know on 07984 617450
Some spaces will be reserved for participants in the Service and those with mobility problems.
Let Margaret know if you need a disabled parking space.
