Thank You from The Trustees

Dear Members,

The Trustees would like to thank each and every one of you who attended the commemorative weekend in Arnhem-Oosterbeek.

In particular we would like to thank:

  • Those who attended the Annual General Meeting and Arnhem Fellowship Dinner and made it such a happy and friendly occasion. The true spirit of the Bonds of Friendship.
  • Those who undertook volunteering roles to support our activities over the weekend (and those who volunteered but for whom no role was available!)
  • Those who represented the Arnhem Fellowship at various ceremonies and laid wreaths for the Arnhem Fellowship.
  • The Institutions who have gone out of their way to make the Arnhem Fellowship welcome and ensure that our members are at the heart of the commemorations.
  • Those who generously donated prizes for the raffle and auction which raised so much money for our funds.

We would also like to thank those who weren’t able to travel to the Netherlands for their attendance and representation at various events around the UK and Netherlands; and for all your participation and input into the Arnhem Fellowship over the course of the year.

The Arnhem Fellowship goes from strength to strength and the Bonds of Friendship are as strong now as ever.

We hope that many more of you will make your attendance at the September commemorations an annual event. So save the date – the commemorative weekend next year will be Friday 19th to Sunday 21st September 2025.

With best wishes from

The Trustees of the Arnhem 1944 Fellowship
