Members are invited to publicise events on these pages. Events
organised by non members but having appeal to cemetery conservation and
heritage supporters will be considered at the discretion of the
Secretary. We do not accept commercial advertising.
Weather, health and safety concerns and other
issues may cause events etc to be postponed or cancelled and you are
advised to contact the local group to confirm any detail nearer to the
event. Please note that any guidance on health and safety should be
followed and in some cases the ground may be wet, muddy and/or uneven
and stout footwear and suitable clothing is essential for outdoor events
such as walks. Many cemeteries were laid out in Victorian times and
access may be restricted in parts for safety reasons. The closeness in
the grave plots, vandalism and undergrowth may make access difficult for
persons with mobility or sight problems. Cemetery managers and
voluntary groups of Friends may in some cases be able to advise if there
are any local facilities to assist disabled visitors such as an
individual to guide a visitor [and their escort or helper] but this is
best arranged prior to the proposed visit. Some cemeteries ban dogs,
others may permit dogs on a lead and if you propose to take a dog please
check first with either the cemetery manager or the local friends
group.
