Farewell to Big Al

This is copied from Alistair Shaw's Facebook page, for anyone who would like to attend his funeral or the gathering in Hay afterwards:

"An open invitation to the funeral of Alastair Donald Shaw on Monday 16th December 2019
11.30am Burial at Humber Woodland of Remembrance, Risbury, Leominster, HR6 0NE
2.30pm Send-Off Gathering at Honesty Bookshop, Castle St., Hay-on-Wye
This will be a day of remembering and celebrating Alastair, bringing the people and things he loved together…
• Please bring a hug and a smile and wear your most colourful (warm) clothes.
• If you have a crazy vehicle, why not make it your ride for the day.
• If you have a story, a song, a poem, a picture, words of remembrance or music you want to play, let us know.
• Please bring food and drink to share at the Send-Off Gathering.
• Instead of flowers, consider making a donation to a charity close to Al’s heart - The Flying Seagull Project is a troupe of clowns, magicians, circus performers and musicians who take smiles to those in need. They believe that every young person has the right to a childhood with play, laughter and creativity. Donate here https://theflyingseagull.charitycheckout.co.uk/…/alastairsh…
Some boring stuff…
Humber Woodland – This is a field and the ground is uneven and most likely wet, there is no inside space or loo and parking is limited, so please share lifts where possible. www.humberwoodland.co.uk
Honesty Bookshop – there will be a canvas canopy for shelter, but as it’s December please wear warm clothing.
May we have merryweather!"
