The William McGregor service - Tuesday 20th December

[dave.woodhall]

Everything is now in place for the service to take place next Tuesday, 20th December, at 2pm. The venue is St Mary's Church, Hampstead Rd, Handsworth B20 2RB.

There will be a lot of dignitaries from football and other areas in attendance, so we also need to get as many of us along as possible. The service will take about 45 minutes, which isn't very long to pay tribute to a man we have so much to be thankful to. Please, if you can make it, try to get there.

I'll try and make it if I can work out how to get there by bus.

It's about 200 yards from the 11 route.

Thanks Dave.
That's promising as the 11 route isn't far from where I am. A call to Centro tomorrow then to find whether I need the A or C and an idea of where to get off.

You'll need to get off at top of Wellington Road (if coming from Villa Park direction) or end of Church Lane (if coming from West Brom/Handsworth direction), immediately before what is known as 'Wellington Road Island'. Then walk down Hamstead Road for 200/300 yards and church is on right, opposite Church Hill Road. Entrance to left hand (south) side of church as you face it from road.

Cheers BC, it'll be 11C there and 11A back. Looked on a map to try and work out where to get off as that isn't my neck of the woods. Hopefully i've got it sorted and won't end up at Villa Park!

The Daily Mail have a nice write up on it which is surprising.

[Salsa Party Animal]

I think I won't be able to get there in time due to work but keep us informed how it is getting on.

[JD]

I wish I could be there. Good luck all of you attending and someone please post some photos for those of us who can't attend.
Cheers.
