The A.G.M. has been arranged for Saturday,the 14th of April 2012. Commencing at 2 pm at the Carl Chin room in the Pen Museum,Frederick St, 2 mins walk from Warstone​
Lane Cemetery.

All are welcome to attend only members may vote. There are vacancies on the committee so if interested in helping in any way please pop along. Parking will be allowed in Warstone Lane Cemetery for those attending. Access from Pitsford Street.
 
Just heard today from Peter Vickers, the chap undertaking the Conservation Management Plan in Key Hill that a bid had been successful for £1 Million !!!!!!
It will help rebuild the fallen Warstone Lane Catacomb Wall - Bereavement Services have had this on the list for some years but each year their limited budget gets used for higher priority works - Witton Chapel Spire, Sutton Crematorium Roof (after vandals stole the copper coverings), and Handsworth Cemetery Chapel Spire - All very important, safety related and more importantly Affects Funerals!)
It will also fund the replacement of the missing gateposts, gates & fence along the Vyse St frontage of Warstone Lane Cemetery - thus improving the Jewellery Quarter as well as the cemetery.

Hopefully further bids in the future will continue with the Pitsford St & Icknield St frontages.
