Every
year the Branch Standard is taken to St Nicholas Church on Newport,
Lincoln to be re-dedicated and blessed. We have done this right from the
first year of the founding of the branch and the Standard in 1976.
The
Lincoln Branch of the Parachute Regiment Association re-dedicate their
Standard at the same church, so some years ago we decided to combine the
two events and hold the ceremony on the same eveining. And so it was
that members of both branches once again had the pleasure of joining the
Rev Hugh Jones and his congregation for this special evening service.
This year we had to have the service in the late afternoon because of changes to circumstances. This also meant that there was no normal congregation of the church.
