Mon, Mar 16th 2020 at 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Club meeting. This evening we will have a visitor from Strawberry Field, Allister Versfeld of The Salvation Army.


Subject:

A visitor from Strawberry Field. 

Speaker:

Allister Versfeld.

My name is Allister Versfeld and I am the Mission Development Officer for Strawberry Field. I have been an Officer in the Salvation Army for 20 years. Strawberry Field is known by many as 'the place where John Lennon played'. The sight was made famous by the song Strawberry Fields Forever. As a result of the connection between the Beatle's song, and Strawberry Field the site, many have travelled from near and far to visit and see the iconic Red Gates.  The Salvation Army has had ownership of the site since 1936 when it was opened as a children's home serving the most vulnerable in the community of Liverpool. I will be taking you down the history of Strawberry Field, sharing stories and explaining the significance of what we do now as we continue to serve those most vulnerable in the community of Liverpool. 

Club Officers of the Day:
