The Reception and Exhibition at Richmond Hall

1st February 2014

Following the unveiling of the flood plaque at Jotman’s Cemetery a small reception and exhibition was held in Richmond Hall.

I would personally like to thank the Friends of Concord Beach who joined us on the day and took charge of the refreshments. The boys, Joe Mander and Liam Heatherson of Beyond the Point who did our photos. Archive members who were working behind the scenes at the cemetery and those who were ‘on duty’ at the hall. Today would not have happened without you all. Thank you.

The Remembrance Book once finished (Currently adding photos) will be deposited in the Bay Museum where it can be seen by anyone. Members of the families of victims, who are not yet known to us, can add their messages/photos to the victims dedicated page.

The remembrance book has now been deposited at the Bay Museum.
