Arrangements:

Arrive at Clarion Hotel Newcastle South (map) from 1pm. 

A private burial is taking place beforehand. The service will begin at 1.30pm and will be finished by 3pm. Afterwards there will be light refreshments. We will be vacating the main room around 5pm.

No dress code.

Family flowers only please. Donations in memory of David would be most welcome to these charities: Christadelphian Samaritan Fund (donate here) and The Stroke Association (donate here).

We’re conscious it will be a busy day and we won’t have time to talk to everyone. If you are attending in person, please look out for our memorial books, and let us know you came and how you knew Dad. An old photo would also be welcome! Messages (or a photo) can also be sent to mtsportraits@gmail.com.

Seating:

We anticipate there will be many attending. Please alert someone if you need a seat and are unable to find one. There is space for standing at the back of the room and extra seating is also provided in the restaurant area where you can join the service on Zoom. There will also be standing room outdoors as a last resort, so please have a mind to the weather.

Parking:

We suggest you allow plenty of time to park and register your licence plate at the hotel reception. There will be parking for up to 100 cars. If necessary there is an overflow car park, or you can park 10mins walk away in the leisure park (restaurants and cinema), free but please check signage.
