Annual Services
The next Annual Service will be held at 12 noon on Sunday June 13th 2010.
It has come to our attention that there may be members of bereaved families who have been unable to attend our Annual Service of Remembrance & Thanksgiving due to ill health, inability to travel distances unaccompanied, or budgetary constraints. In such special circumstances it may be possible for the Trustees to give a measure of assistance for those who have been regularly unable to visit the Chapel for the Annual Service but would like to do so as long as funds are available for the purpose. In this case a letter of application should be sent via the Secretary to the Trustees.
Hire of the Chapel
The Chapel is available for hire for weddings, reunions or charitable events subject to availability and Health & Safety regulations.
Interested parties should contact Rev. Brian Cunningham at the College for special arrangements, telephone 01189 842101.
Garden of Remembrance
Families wishing to contribute to the SAMA (South Atlantic Medal Association) 'Garden of Remembrance' web site - which is accessible in the Chapel Memorial Room - are encouraged to contact the Association;
many families have already contributed information about their loved ones but others may not know of its existence.
For information or web site contributions Mark Griffin, SAMA's Webmaster, will be pleased to hear from you - at: webmaster@sama82.org

The Chapel Library
Contains virtually every book written about the Falklands War.
These books are for reading at the Chapel and are not to be borrowed and taken away.
The Library includes The RAF Cottesmore Diary of Memorabilia.
The Chapel has been presented with a marvelous diary of combat mission reports and photographs carried out by the No 1 (Fighter) Squadron from RAF Cottesmore in 1982. It is rather precious but available for viewing in the Chapel on request to the Chaplain.

If you wish to organise a fund-raising event, please contact Angela Perry at Wroxton Mill, Shutford Road, Wroxton, Banbury, Oxon, OX15 6EZ.
