          Greetings from Barrow in Furness

Hello Everyone 
Please see two photos of the HMAS AE1 & AE2 Memorial in Ramsden Square in Barrow.  The Barrow Submariners held a Remembrance Ceremony at the Memorial at 0945 today (14th November 2021) prior to the main Barrow in Furness Remembrance Parade & Service.  In the first photo there are two Wreaths - one in the centre laid by Mark Butchart  (Vice Chairman of the Barrow Submariners Association) and the second, on the right, was laid on behalf of the BAE Shipyard - formerly Vickers - who built AE1 & AE2
 
The second photo shows Ken Collins (of the Barrow Subvets) with Scarlett - who laid the third Wreath - the one on the left with the green edging - which Scarlett made herself.  Scarlett has laid a tribute herself for three of the last four years.  She decided to do this after she noticed by chance that the name of the 3rd Hand of HMAS AE1 was called Scarlett - although no relation.  Scarlett has now involved her School (St Pius Roman Catholic School in Barrow) in holding an Annual Remembrance Service to which the Veterans Associations are invited.
 
Some 30 people and six standard bearers attended the AE1 & AE2 Ceremony representing Submariners, the RAF Association, the Royal British Legion and the Duke of Lancaster's Regimental Association.
 
Best Regards

This note from Buster Keeton for anyone interested.
​
Hi all,
 
I’ve just finished my latest Blog, “Solitude”. You may or may not know that I write the blog to help me work through various challenges. I’ve had some great feedback on the ones I’ve written so far. As the blogs are written from a Veterans perspective I thought I’d share them with you.
 
Hope you’re all well and remember I’m only a call away if you feel down and need to reach out
 
Regards

​Hi Guys,
Jane and I are currently volunteer caretakers of the Blackbutt Showgrounds Caravan Park, on wikicamp we get a 4.5 rating, Google Earth (-26.8807500, 152.1030139)
 
We will be here until the 8th March when the Showgrounds will be closed for a couple of weeks for a major RV Rally, at that time we will be relocating to our new home on Russell Island.
 
The costs are very low here, the charges are a person charge of $10.00 per person per night for a powered site and $8 per person per night unpowered but I can assure members of the Association who come here while Jane and I are here, we will find you a better rate.  We have plenty of room,  clean showers and toilets and our Covid requirements are much lower that in the South East Qld bubble, for example, right now we have over 100 vans in from 3 Caravan Clubs.  The Blackbutt Show Society do not advertise the site, word of mouth only.
 
In the local area we have lots to see and do including visits to winery’s, Rail Trail immediately behind the Showgrounds etc.
 
Regards
