ChrisC Posted 8 September , 2005 Share Posted 8 September , 2005 It might seem like early days but who would fancy a beer in the Posterij - or some other watering hole on 10th / 11th November? Maybe a meet up and a visit to one of the sights in the Salient? I'll be staying at the Rum Jar. Chris C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ypres1418 Posted 17 September , 2005 Share Posted 17 September , 2005 Chris, You might want to bring with you 1 Tin hat - to be worn, these are not usually necessary but just in case Seb is eating his spag bol and our American friend is causing Seb to laugh then it may be, 2. also your waterproof coat may be needed!!!!!! 3. A good northern dictionary, although i can translate for you if you don't have one! See you there, Photo's may be taken so be warned!!!!!!!!! But don't let that put you off, the kids don't like their photo's taken so i have to get shifty while taking them! Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatterySergeantMajor Posted 20 September , 2005 Share Posted 20 September , 2005 Erwin Could you post some more detail regarding the new Passchendaele Ceremony on the 10th. Kind regards John <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ceremony starts at at 18.00 hour at Crest Farm Canadian monument in Passchendaele and will finish at about 19.15 on the market place of the village (only a few hunderd meters away), this to give people the opportunity to go to the Last Post ceremony in Ypres afterwards. It is organised for the first time by the Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917, but with the intention to make it an annual ceremony. Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
