St Edmund’s Church, Gateshead (2 pm for a start at 2:30 pm) – a service for the laying-up of our Gateshead Standard and the blessing of our new Newcastle and Gateshead Standard, donated in the memory of our late colleague Mr Allen and by the generosity of his family.

It is hoped that the Service will be attended by as many members of the Branch as possible, the Allen family, the Fellowship (of which Mr Allen was a member) and 361 (Gateshead) Sqn, RAF Air Cadets (of which Mr Allen was a founder member).
