Also Saturday 20th: Join us to Celebrate and Remember our dear friend Ben.

We are very sad to pass on the news that Ben Sharkey from Nottingham
was killed last week in a cycle accident in France. He was a very big
presence in Nottingham and his loss has hit people here very hard.

Ben's body was cremated on Thursday 18th in Dunkerque in France.
However, for us, the actual celebration will be on Saturday at the
Sumac Centre, starting at 1pm with a Quaker-style Circle of Friends,
followed by a huge Ben-style party all night!

Ben touched many lives, maybe yours too.
