UPGRADE TO PORTSMOUTH FALKLANDS MEMORIAL SITE

Update - It is my intention to close this crowdfunding page on or about 30th April 2022.
I can confirm that of the £4158.00 donated, £4010.35 has be transferred to me and the outstanding £147.65 taken as fees by
gofund.me.

Thank you ALL so much for your support - these funds, combined with other fundraising activities means we have achieved the
objectives of obtaining the new memorial, purchasing the two benches and donating funds to Falklands Veterans Foundation. We are 
on track, providing outstanding memorabilia orders are paid on time to achieve our £10,000.00 target.


As of 15th April 2022 with the addition of funds raised with other activities, we have now raised a total of £8648.92 with additional
anticipated  sales totalling £2309.10 to be added to the total in due course.

I cannot thank all those of the class of 82 and  others who have donated or purchased memorabilia items from our group Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/groups/416995746557591/?ref=share       

Please continue to donate and help us to hit the magical £10,000 target. Thank You.

Hi, my name is Barrie Jones and a proud member of the class of 82 Falklands war task force. I served on HMS Intrepid during the campaign.

Discussions have taken place with Portsmouth City Council, Heritage England and the Australia society regarding two projects being put
together in time for the 40th anniversary of the Falklands war.

It is hoped to install a second memorial tablet on the wall at the current Old Portsmouth memorial that will list the remaining 128 names -
this will then have all 258 names of those service personnel and 3 Falkland Islander ladies killed during the war

The second project is the installation of two memorial benches, one is a standard Falklands bench, the other is to be a bespoke design in memory of HMS Fearless landing craft LCU F4 and her crew. Placement of these benches will be behind the current Old Portsmouth
Falklands Memorial site, under cover and facing the sea.

I can advise that permission for both projects to proceed has been given.

Any donations given will be most graciously and respectfully received. Any funds over and above our target left over after all bills paid will be donated to FVF Liberty Lodge.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.
