Remembrance Day Gathering & Service on the Village Green at 10.50am, moving to Milford War Memorial Hosptial to lay wreath. As names are read, local school children also lay an individual poppy in remembrance of each of the fallen. *Two minutes silence nationwide at 11am.

Remembrance Day (Also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day  or Veterans Day) is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.) The day was specifically dedicated by King George V on 7 November 1919, to the observance of members of the armed forces who were killed during war. Today a Service of Remembrance is held on this day every year at many memorials & war cemetery’s across the world & includes the sounding of ‘Last Post’ &  the sounding of ‘Reveille’. At 11am the nation observes a two minutes of silence, during the silence many places across the country fall still as our lost & fallen are remembered.

 
Prior to the days of remembrance, the Poppy Appeal is held to support The Royal British Legion's charity work. Throughout the UK many members of the nation, regardless of age, can be seen wearing a poppy.

Remembrance Sunday: In addition to the two minutes silence & services observed on 11 November itself, the main observance is on Remembrance Sunday which is held every second Sunday of November. Ceremonies are held at local war memorials, usually organised by local branches of the Royal British Legion (an association for ex-servicemen). Typically, poppy wreaths are laid by representatives of the Crown, the armed forces, and local civic leaders, as well as by local organisations including ex-servicemen organisations, cadet forces, the Scouts, Guides, Boys' Brigade, St John Ambulance and the Salvation Army. The start and end of the silence is often also marked by the firing of a cannon. The Service of Remembrance in many commonwealth countries generally includes the sounding of ‘Last Post’, followed by the two minutes of silence, followed by the sounding of ‘Reveille’. During these services wreaths of poppies are laid to honour the fallen. A minute's or two minutes' silence is also frequently incorporated into church services.

Prior to the days of remembrance, the Poppy Appeal is held to support The Royal British Legion's charity work. Throughout the UK many members of the nation, regardless of age, can be seen wearing a poppy.

About New Forest Organ Society

This Society was formed in 1979 and the membership steadily increased from 15 people until 1994 when the number reached 200, and it soon became necessary to form a membership waiting list.  Since then the concert evenings are either full or nearly full - the hall holds 200.  Members have the advantage of booking in advance but there are usually 30 - 50 tickets to sell to members and non-members at the door.  Concerts are held monthly and are usually - but not always - on the fourth Tuesday in the month.
 
The Social Section was introduced in January 1995 and is usually for members only, although people on the waiting list are welcome.  These evenings are also held monthly (usually second Tuesday) and are intended for members to play their own organs and keyboards and often other instruments as well.  We also arrange other events, e.g. concert outings, party evenings or dinners. etc. Other events through the year include Classical Concert, Social Summer Party, Christmas Party and/or Dinner and Concert. The Society welcomes visitors from other Clubs and we are always pleased to hear from anyone who is on holiday in our area.
