Garden of Remembrance
The garden of remembrance sits within the grounds of the ASPT and is maintained by the ASPT contract gardeners. Within the garden we have a small summer house which houses named plaques donated by families of Association members who have passed away and, in some cases, have their ashes scattered in the garden. The summer house is in need or replacement and following a very kind and generous donation from Kathleen Sheedy (wife of deceased Maj Mike Sheedy) we are currently investigating a bespoke replacement summer house which will continue to house the memorial plaques.

It is not all doom and gloom in a Corps Headquarters and there is always some fun leading up to Christmas and the following photos should give you a flavour.
