Remembrance Sunday Wet Weather Service in St. Mary’s Church.

Any decision to cancel the parade and hold the War Memorial Service inside of St. Mary’s Church will be made by the Parish Council.

Any decision on this should be made as early as possible on the day so that all interested parties are told of the change in time to let their contacts know about it.

All organisations will be asked to assemble from 10.30 am.

See below arrangements for the Remembrance Sunday Memorial Service in the escenario of a rain downpour!

Arrangements inside of the church.

On entering the church, those taking an active role will be directed to various areas as follows :-

Bloxham School Cadets – Standard bearer to the altar table in front of the Rood Screen where he can be seen by the congregation and the other standard bearers.

Wreath Layers – to reserved seats immediately in front of the Memorial Chapel Altar Table.

Uniformed Youth units and RBL veterans – to the reserved seats in front of the main altar.

Uniformed Youth Group standard bearers – to the main aisle so that they can dip the standards into the aisle.

Names Readers – to stand near to the Lectern to make use of the sound system.

Trumpeter – to stand on the right hand side of the Rood Screen.

The vicar will, as usual, stand in front of the altar table.

At the conclusion of the service all move outside of the church and disperse.
