Merchant Navy Day Commemorative Service & Reunion –

[Doc Vernon]

With Thanks from Dave Williams please see the following changes planned!

Merchant Navy Day Commemorative Service & Reunion –
Sunday 16 September 2012

Due to circumstances completely beyond our control (Olympics & Paralympics), the Service has been re-arranged to Sunday 16 September 2012 (information will be advised as soon as possible).

The City of London will not allow the event to take place 9 Sept due to the Paralympic Marathon using Great Tower Street turning at Tower Hill tube station. They are concerned that large crowds are expected with issues from a crowd management control and Trinity Square Gardens will be used for broadcast facilities. In addition there would be major issues with traffic for getting coaches to Tower Hill due to the many road closures in the City and the dedicated Olympic routes to Stratford.

Many thanks for this info Dave!
Cheers
Doc
