Martyn Allies

The funeral of our Honorary Vice-President and former Chairman took place on Friday 12 February.  There was a private committal at Reading Crematorium and a funeral service at Caversham Heights Methodist Church.

There will also be a Service of Celebration of Martyn's life on Saturday 13 March at 2.30 pm at Reading Minster of St Mary the Virgin.  The service will be led by the Revd Canon Brian Shenton, and the sermon will be given by the Revd Leslie Griffiths (Lord Griffiths of Burry Port), a former Minister at Caversham Heights, now Superintendent Minister at Wesley's Chapel, London.

The family has asked that no flowers be sent.  Donations in memory of Martyn can be sent to A.B. Walker & Son, Eldon Road, Reading RG1 4DL, either for the Methodist Relief and Development Fund or the Disasters Emergency Committee Haiti Earthquake Appeal.
