Vacancy for Remembrance Day Parade Marshal
After nearly 30 years of involvement, Mr Andy Denholm has decided to step down as Cornforth’s Parade Marshal for after this year’s Remembrance Service and parades.

“Cornforth is now looking for a new person to take on the role of Parade Marshal from 2025. Andy has kindly offered to provide help and guidance to the new person.”
