It is with great sadness that we have learnt that Val Lyons passed away in her sleep last week. Val was involved with 1st Warsash for many, many years both as a leader and then as an Executive member. In January 2015, Val was presented with a 40 year service award and the Scout Association Award for Merit for her ‘long and dedicated’ service to the Scout Association and Fareham West. Christiene White and Julie North will be representing the Group at Val’s funeral and flowers will be organised. If anyone else would like to attend the funeral, it is on Thursday 28th July, 3pm at Portchester Crematorium.
