Remembrance (Sunday) is a special event in the North Countrymen’s Club calendar as we gather every year to remember the service and sacrifice of the British and Commonwealth soldiers, sailors, airmen, and women, together with members of the emergency services and civilians.
On Sunday 10 November the Club opened early for those who wished to watch the Cenotaph service on TV, and once the proceedings in Colchester centre had finished the NCC was flooded with Members, guests and veterans.
Former Garrison Commander Tony Barton, gave a heartfelt “talk” about D-Day and Operation Market Garden (the Battle for Arnhem). There was also a superb buffet, prepared by the fair hands of Hazel Linscott and the willing, but not so fair hands, of her husband David.
Huge thanks to NCC President John Davey for again organising the event, Tony, Hazel and David and everyone who supported the event.
World Cup fun despite defeat
