Hello Billy,
I to would like to know as to whether the wrist bands are still available. Did not see this thread first time around as I was in the USA when it was first posted.

Mick, John

Wristbands all sold or donated. No plans for any more orders due to costing and low interest.

Thanks to all those who helped.

£30 was paid today to the Stone Mason that has renovated / refurbished the grave of Captain Cecil Foster. I have registered this for now as from "With a Little Help from my Merchant Navy Friends" although this fund has not as yet gone live, this amount was raised by the sale of wrist bands.

The kindness and all thanks to Deep Sea's involvement is both noted and will be mentioned in dispatches.

A large time frame was always planned with an intention to both do more at the moment, with an exhibition in Barry and going more live before or by MN Day. Have had a few hiccups but all is on track.

Hopefully more news will be released soon on the first refurbishment / renovation. WALHFMMNF (With a Little Help from My Merchant Navy Friends - Was kick started by a cheque received from Stanley Gibbons Monthly - for an article called: Stamp of Approval for the Merchant Navy. The money was then neither requested or anticipated. On receipt of £50 then, I promised at the time it would be used to benefit MN good causes.

Anyone that wishes to assist further, should watch this space. Rather than appear pie in the sky, will commence all with a sound first undertaking. I would hope this to become too big for me alone and ask for all help and a small body to both help and administer etc.

The venture was inspired by Deep Sea's work and a desire to help all in similar situations and for National / International ventures. Hopefully, eventually WALHFMMNF will both advise and even initially donate to get these and similar projects off the ground at least earlier than some red tape etc presently allows.

As said will be looking for much help both in the future and soon.

The worthy cause of renovation / refurbishment is very much on course, the next step is to receive both relatives and relatives of survivors. The wrist bands have played a very much worthy part in all. Thank you.
