UPCOMING EVENTS
COMMEMORATIVE BENCHES
Visitors to our event will recall we ran a number of fund raising initiatives a few years ago to raise funds to purchase benches to go in the town's Memorial Garden to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of World War 1 also one to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of World War 2.
To add to these Alan, our chairman having raised the monies needed has handed over a bench to honour those from the Welshpool area who participated in the Falklands War.
The benches take pride of place in the Memorial Garden, Howell Drive Welshpool.
