| It
brings us great pleasure to announce we have been invited to Belgium for
the weekend of 26th August 2006. We have received a request from our European Contact, Mr Vloeburghs, to attend the Blankenberge Flower Parade in Belgium. Mr Vloeburghs is the person who arranged many of our visits to Europe over many years, dating back to the early 1960's. His invitation is to see the corps one more time before he retires, and the corps look forward to honouring his wishes. |
