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.
