‘Westfield Remembers’ WWI exhibition<br />
On the weekend 3 rd and 4 th <strong>No</strong>vember the Exhibition was on display in the<br />
Church Hall. We would like to thank the Working Party who worked very hard in<br />
putting together this wonderful commemoration of those who served; in<br />
particular, thanks go to Ruth and Ben Carter of Westfield History who worked<br />
tirelessly to make the exhibition happen. Thanks to Pauline Filsell-Page for<br />
organising the refreshments and drumming up volunteers. On the Saturday<br />
evening there was a good turnout for a film showing of the acclaimed 1916 film<br />
of the Battle of the Somme, on loan from the Imperial War Museum. Greene<br />
King donated a keg of their commemorative beer to the event. About £225 from<br />
the evening was added to all donations received throughout the weekend which<br />
will be given to the local branch of the Royal British Legion. The display was<br />
moved to the Church throughout the week from Monday 5 th <strong>No</strong>vember until<br />
Armistice Day.<br />
Thanks should also be expressed to Pauline for stepping in at the last minute to<br />
organise the Poppy Appeal for Westfield, find collectors and order the wreaths.<br />
