Subject: RE: Brixton Bert - Benefit
Thanks to everyone who came to Berts funeral last Monday,we had standing room only at the service,we think 130 people came back to our house for lunch!Then we all went back to the Royal Marine for lots of music.
You may like to know that Berts daughter came to Walton today and has given Berts collection of tankards to the pub to be displayed as a permenant memorial to Bert.(At least 100!!)
We also hope to get the Walton folk festival committee to rename the chorus cup competition as the Brixton Bert Chorus Cup!
Lots of love to Berts brother in law Alan,liz,Mark,Mary,David and all the other catters who helped with the concert and raised so much money for the charity that his children nominated.
