The wake will take place on Saturday 14th January at the Tudor Barn Eltham. Probably starting about 1pm with a few hymns and sacred music that Dave has requested. There will also be close friends and family reading some pieces about Dave's life. He has written it all down as those who have visited will know. He says 'this bit shouldn't take more than an hour', but knowing many of the stories Dave has inspired this may go on a bit longer. Interruptions, laughter and toasts are all acceptable. Barry Laing of Skinners Rats is taking on the role of MC, so anyone who would like to perform, please contact him and he will sort out a programme.His phone number is 020 8303 6882. There will be a raffle and collection for Charities including the EFDSS, RNLI & IWA. We would like to have the buffet American Supper style, as we have only a rough idea of numbers (But expect lots) I will look after that side (with assistance).
If anyone wants a bed for the night bI have plenty of floor space and the caravan (2 comfortable, 3 friendly) Jude do you want to book it again?
I'll keep you informed, and thanks again for your wonderful messages and sympathy
Linda
