All PWSTS boys and their families are invited. We expect interest from the local media and maritime organisations. Standard bearers from other associations are most welcome. The Holy Trinity Church is situated right next door to Ingham Old Hall. More information will soon follow. Please let us know if you require wheelchair access.  List of those attending to date Background: Thanks to the combined efforts of the Church Warden at Ingham, the British and International Sailor's Society, English Heritage and the Seafarers Centre at Dover, on the 10th January 2007 our faculty application was approved. This has been a lengthy process partly because the proposed location is an ancient doorway alcove.

In the meantime we would like to raise a donation to the church which will assist in refurbishment in time for the service. Reverend David Potterton, Principle Chaplin for the British and International Sailor's Society will conduct the dedication service.
