IN June this year we held a very successful fund-raising event and, thanks to the generosity of your readers, we were able to raise the amount required for a special casing in which our Branch Standard will be laid up in York Minster.

We would like everyone who supported us with the appeal to know that there has been a delay in holding the laying-up ceremony as we are still awaiting the completion of the casing.

We now anticipate that the ceremony will take place in the New Year and as soon as we have a firm date details will be announced in the Evening Press.
