UNDERCLIFFE 'Rest in Peace' DVD:
May saw the launch of a new DVD compiled, filmed and
produced by David Weber of Barleybrook Digital in collaboration with
Trustees Colin Clark and Reuben Davison.
It relates the history of the cemetery graphically and is a perfect
companion to the book we produced in 2004. The launch took place on the
24th of April at the Bradford Industrial Museum in the presence of the
Lord Mayor of Bradford Cllr Valerie Binnie, local councillors and many
guests. David Weber has donated all the proceeds from the sale of the
DVD to our charity for which we are most grateful.
Copies can be obtained through the charity at £ 9.99 (£ 10.50 inc p&p).
GRANT
A grant was applied for from CNET which makes money available to local
organizations doing work within the community. Local councillor Howard
Middleton helped and advised the charity in this matter. The grant
amounted to £ 1000 to spend on tools and machinery. This purchased an
electric generator and hedge trimmers which has helped the volunteers in
maintaining the shrubbery and hedges! There was some money left over
which went towards replacing worn and broken tools.
SAD LOSS
We were saddened by the death of one of our committee members, Mr. Colin
Clayton. Colin was a Principle Officer for the Councils Public Services
Dept. and was a valuable link to the council. He will be sorely missed.
