A few new photos on the website from this years RAF Keevil Remembrance, also the Harvest Supper – our first in three years – we were delighted to welcome our new Rector Jake Eggertsen and his lovely wife Nicola. After a fabulous supper of shepherds pie rounded off with a selection of scrumptious desserts and coffee served up by Geoff West and Debbie Meatyard, an evening of amusing anecdotes, poetry and song led by our choir and others. Thanks a million to everyone who contributed!

And finally…
As mentioned above, the RAF Keevil Remembrance occupies a special place in Keevil history, and we were sad to learn that John Bosley, the splendid old Sapper who for the last few years had laid his wreath from a wheelchair, has died. His story was covered on the British Army Facebook page not long ago.
