Last July, as the original propounder of the scheme, I attended the opening ceremony of the new war memorial in the square at Beamin-ster. During the event I made a short speech to indicate what motivated me to bring this about.
After the event I was approached by members of the audience asking me for copies but I was unable to supply, as I had not written the speech out, preferring to memorise what I wanted to say without reading.
However, since then I have continuously thought back and remembered, I hope almost word for word, what I said. Should anyone want a copy of the speech I can be contacted at 01798 344733.
