Mercury Old Boys – an invitation to attend Remembrance Sunday 2025 in Hamble-le-Rice
Whilst the Mercury Old Boys Association (MOBA) was formally disbanded in 2020 there are still many of us around today and even some new people with connection on the Facebook page. Each year, whilst we still can. we have committed to laying a wreath on Remembrance Sunday at the Mercury War Memorial in St Andrew’s churchyard, Hamble-le-Rice. This year will be no exception and importantly it will commemorate those who gave their lives in World War II, which includes 52 Mercury Old Boys (51 in WWI). We would like to use this opportunity to invite anyone who would like to attend to join us on this occasion.
Depending upon the numbers we will look to arrange somewhere for lunch afterwards and, indeed, if there is enough interest, perhaps arrange an informal get together the evening before. If we are to try and organise something it is essential that we know the numbers at an early stage. I would therefore ask you to advise us at; tsmercury@btinternet.com or Facebook page, if you would like to join us no later than 31st August.
My best wishes to you all
David Parsons, Past Chairman of the MOBA
