Week St. Mary Village
'a community at large'
by David M Martin
On Thursday 29th November in the
Chapel's Sunday School Room, Week St. Mary, David Martin signed
new copies of his book. The Room, decorated with posters and
a small display of old photographs, soon filled with supporters.
One of the highlights of the
afternoon was the entry of one of the original evacuees, Audrey
Tarrant, who, in 1943, walked through the door of the Sunday
School Room with other children from Croydon, once again walked
through those doors wearing an identity label, carrying a box of
personal possessions around her neck and clutching a small teddy
bear - the same bear that she carried 64 years ago - thank you
Audrey for that touch of realism.
Some 130 copies of the book were
signed on that day.

My thanks to all my family who
attended on that day and those who helped with refreshments.
