Bournville turned out in force for the club’s Remembrance Reflection at Avery Fields on Sunday November 8.
Wreaths and tributes were laid behalf of Bournville Rugby and Birmingham Hurricanes Rugby League club at the ceremony at the newly-created Remembrance area.
More than 300 children and family members from the club’s Mini and Junior Section attended along with military veterans to remember and honour all those who have served, sacrificed, and given their lives in conflicts past and present, ensuring that we can enjoy the freedoms we have today.
Life President George Foley read the Ode of Remembrance and Billy Farmer from the Under-12s team performed the Last Post and Reveille with distinction and maturity.
“It is so important that we continue to educate and inspire younger generations about the importance of remembrance, ensuring that the courage, bravery, and sacrifice of those who came before us are never forgotten,” said Laura Hughes, Joint Chair of the Mini and Junior section.
“At Bournville Rugby Club, we are proud to come together not only as a rugby club, but as a community and a family. We will remember them. Lest we forget.”
