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, on June 20th 1940, 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 all those years ago - thank you
Audrey for that touch of realism.
Some 133 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. |
