ADMISSION WILL BE BY TICKET ONLY
There is a limit of 2000 tickets and they can only be obtained
from the EVACUEES REUNION ASSOCIATION, using
this application form. The tickets will be issued on a ‘first
come, first served’ system. To meet the high costs incurred
for such a major event the ERA has no alternative but to
require a minimum donation of £20 per ticket, of which £5
per ticket ( non returnable) is payable with each application
and the balance of £15 per ticket is payable no later than
31st March 2009.
If after the payment of all costs to St. Paul’s Cathedral and
those incurred by the ERA a surplus of funds has arisen
they will be transferred to the National Memorial to the
Evacuation Fund.
Based upon the Westminster Abbey event we
Held in 1999 we feel sure that the demand for
Tickets will greatly exceed the number available,
Therefore immediate application is advised to
avoid disappointment.
