We hold three meetings per year and the Annual War
Memorial Parade and Service which is held on the 2nd Sunday in July, 2.30 at
the chapel in Jackson Lane, parading to the War Memorial, Oak Lane, Kerridge,
for the service at 3.00pm
at which a public collection is taken.
The committee is composed of Kerridge ex-servicemen
and invited local residents. The War Memorial is a private memorial bought by Kerridge people in
1918 to the memory of their loved ones and later those lost in 1939-45. The memorial and garden
grounds are maintained to a high standard by the committee and supported by voluntary
subscriptions and donations.
