The club Chairman is seen laying a wreath on behalf of the club at the Cenotaph yesterday. We placed ours alongside the wreath from Whitehaven Rugby Union Club. The chairman said "It was a poignant moment for myself personally as it's 100 years since my grandfather John Todd D.C.M. was killed and I visited his grave in May of this year. The weather was atrocious and it was very moving to see so many people who turned up and ignored the rain. I would also like to thank Barry and Andrew off the stall, Alan Charleton and Eric Lewthwaite and the Vice Presidents who all donated towards the cost of the wreath. It would be nice to think that we could make this an annual ceremony from the club." Regards The Office.
