Shipmates, families and friends... Just to let you all know, I once again attended this years SAMA82 AGM and Gala Dinner over this past weekend in Doncaster, the highlights of the AGM I intend to brief quickly at our forthcoming reunion on 21 May. However, just to let you all know that I was asked by the North East SAMA82 rep if we could parade our Coventry standard at the annual FI Merchant Navy Task Force Service and Parade which take place next Sunday on 17 April in Hull. Very short notice but I will go and take part as they are laying wreaths for all the ships we lost so this includes Coventry of course, they have asked me to lay that one. My wife Margaret will attend with me, and it is short notice, but if anyone in the immediate area wishes to join us then please feel free to do so. It all starts at 1330 in the Holy Trinity Church, HULL. Any questions please call me or email. Yours Aye - Chairman
