Details of Noggin's Funeral

[admin]

Dear All

The funeral of our dear friend, fellow drinker and cheese lover, will be held on Friday 6th March at 3.30 p.m. at

Lodge Hill Crematorium
Weoley Park Road
Selly Oak
Birmingham
B29 5AA

The family have requested family flowers only, and donations instead to Acorns Hospice (there will be a collection on the day).

Venue for gathering afterwards to be arranged.

The family are really looking forward to meeting some of Noggin's friends. If you are hoping to attend can you please give an indication as the family need a rough idea of numbers for catering arrangements.

Noggin's mum has said that she would prefer no robes, i.e. normal smart dress preferred. (Though Martin will be wearing knee length shorts in Noggin's honour to the wake afterwards(!))

Any of the buses that pass along the main A38/Bristol Road are within walking distance of the cemetry, which is about 1/4 a mile from the Bristol Road on Weoley Park Road.

Also the no 21 bus goes directly past there from the city centre for anyone coming from that direction.

And the no 69 which I think comes from over Shirley way goes past it as well.

I am very sad to hear of Noggin's death. Although I only met him a few times over the years he was always very friendly and warm and down to earth.

Just to let people know that there has been a change of venue for Noggins Wake, It is not at the Bulls head Kings Norton

Rhiannon will speak with Noggins sister and let us know

Hi All

I have received confirmation of where the gathering will be held after the crematorium.

It is at the Hazelwell Pub, which is on the corner of Pineapple Road and Fordhouse Lane.

All are welcome to come after the crematorium service. There will probably be space in some cars for those who are reliant on public transport.

Best wishes.

Rhiannon

I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of the old faces attending Noggins funeral.

I'm sure it will mean a lot to his family to realize just how cared for he was by his community.

So although its not my place to say it.
Thank you all for taking the time to come. I know Noggin will be looking down and smiling, that you have made the effort for him.

see you there

I have just returned from Noggins funeral.
it was a truely beautiful service, Martin and Rhiannon did him proud.

His brother was very pleased at the amount of his friend that had made the effort to come and thank everyone for being there.

Also everyone dug deep for the collection and Im sure the Acorn will be it to very good use.
