Lord, make me willing to be used by you. May my knowledge of my unworthiness never make me resist being used by you. May the need of others always be remembered by me, so that I may ever be willing to be used by you.

And open my eyes and my heart that I may this coming day be able to do some work of peace for you.

The Meeting on the 14^th June had as it's guest speaker, Laura Ashton the County Standard Bearer, who in 2005 went on a 10 day trip with Remembrance Travel to Burma, as the Standard Bearer, for the laying of the wreaths at the tombs for the fallen.

The flight lasted 10 hours, the plane landing at Bangkok, where the group flew on to Rangoon and had a guided tour of the 'old' town, visiting the major pergola which was in the process of being re-gilded requiring bamboo scaffolding and many workers, and was surrounded by dozens of smaller pergolas.

She and her companions, many of them Burma veterans and their relatives, of veterans next visited Mandalay where from the hill shrines breathtaking panoramic views and striking sunsets can be enjoyed.   At Mingun Laura was pictured standing within a giant 90 ton bell, all that we could see of her were her legs and feet.

The laying of the wreaths at the tombs and a service at the Cathedral took place on the last day, and the pilgrimage was rounded off by a dinner at the British Embassy It was obviously a trip tinged by sadness but one that was also unforgettable

Names are being collected for the Mystery Trip on September 13th, leaving the Legion at 10.30 am and returning at approximately 4 pm.

The next Meeting will be on July 12^th and will be a talk will be given by the PDSA New Members are very welcome,
