I will be laying a wreath at the memorial garden in Blackhall Colliery Welfare Park on behalf of the members of Durham County Council, and with the kind assistance of the clerk and admin staff of Monk Hesleden Parish Council Stacey and I have also arranged for a buffet to be made available at Blackhall Cricket Club immediately after the ceremony. Everyone will be made welcome, so please feel free to call into the club immediately after the service.
My county council colleague Stacey Deinali has made similar arrangements for the Remembrance Sunday service to be held at the memorial in Hesleden, with a reception afterwards at Hesleden Workingmen's Club.
