UPDATE: 4th NOVEMBER AT 18:00
—
There is no planned ceremony next Wednesday, as it is prohibited under the current regulations (which were voted through by Parliament this afternoon). Instead we would like to encourage people to observe two minutes' silence in Remembrance on their doorsteps at 11:00 on Remembrance Sunday, and also on Armistice Day on Wednesday. That’s my understanding.
Kind regards, David Mincher

Owing to the ongoing Covid restrictions it will not be practicable to hold the traditional Remembrance Sunday service at St John the Baptist church in Snape this year. Instead, the main focus of Remembrance will be at the War Memorial at Snape Crossroads at 10:45 on Wednesday, 11th November, when there will be a short service, the two minutes' silence, and the Wreaths of various Associations and Organisations will be laid.
For everyone's safety, please observe the appropriate rules in force at the time on social distancing. It is hoped that the need to observe these national restrictions is acceptable, and that they will not discourage support for the observation of Remembrancetide this year.
Incidentally, for the same reason, nor will we hold the annual Carol Service at St Andrew's Church in Little Glemham this year, nor serve refreshments afterwards at Glemham Hall.
It is hoped that the need to cancel our traditional services is understood, and we look forward to your ongoing support in 2021.
Any further information will follow in due course.
Best regards, David Mincher
