I do hope that if, by some miracle, the Club survives the present crisis and we get a proper owner Pierre Bolangi's Memorial Garden is restored to its rightful place.
RIP. Pierre. Could I ask, what became of the memorial garden?
IIRC it got dismantled in preparation for some building works at the training ground that never quite happened. I think the infamous trench may have been involved. @Fanny Fanackapan will be able to give you chapter and verse on that.
We should never forget, and it was nice to see a good turn out today at the training ground, thank @tracey for arranging.
Also, we the Trust are holding (ring fenced) £591 from the residual amount of the protest fund for the re-estblishment (is that a word!) of the memorial Garden.
It was moved to Hadlow College I believe when the trenches were dug. Will liaise with Tracey on this. I'd happily help do some digging...
Glad so many people were able to participate today, and seems quite unbelievable it’s been 20 years. The fact today was arranged and so many Charlton names attended is one more highlight of what a special club we are, and also what a special lad Pierre was.

Add me to any help digging, fencing, whatever is needed for this project.

Nice touch with the landing page, dignified and sincere.
I don't know how I missed this yesterday.
Pierre Bolangi
RIP Pierre

Have only just seen this thread and a bit upset that we didn't know anything about this event.
Perhaps someone might point me in the direction of the information, unless it was by invitation only.
*With you leading the way, at least we know the project will get finished. X
