Welcome to the 36 Grays Lane guestbook.

Please feel free to express your feelings below, but try to keep it polite!

It seems that the guestbook software is throwing a few glitches. We've had a few reports of random "permanent bannings" and posts disappearing. Please accept our apologies if either of these happen to you and, if you want to enter a message but it won't allow you, feel free to email your message and the name / location you'd like put to the email on the home-page

We've found that the vast majority of Ashtead residents are overwhelmingly supportive of SSAFA, Headley Court, the Armed Forces and our campaign. The 90 or so objectors, and their attitudes, do not represent most Ashtead residents from everything we've seen. Please, in thanks to all those people, bear that in mind when posting!

Thank you to everyone who's helped achieve this wonderful result. We've known from the outset that the concerns raised were misplaced. SSAFA and the families concerned will now have the chance to prove that. We know they'll be more than equal to the task.

Oh, and thanks for all the fish

E-mail: nospam@nospam.com 		As a Royal Navy veteran of 23 years and a Falklands Veteran I wonder how many of these selfish people have any connection with the forces of the crown I think none would be the answer else this site would not exist. Signed the petition and sent a letter of support

Onwards and upwards and keep the faith

It makes me extremely mad/sad to see the lack of compassion some residents of Ashtead of shown. All members of the forces should be fully supported by us, especially if they are unfortunate enough to have to pass through Headley Court.

I sincerely hope that planning permission is granted to SSAFA.

E-mail: nospam@nospam.com 		It seems that so many will pay lip service to those who serve in the Armed Forces, but when it comes down to showing some moral support, they turn into NIMBY's.

To those in Ashtead that do not support the acquisition of this house by the families association, I say you should hang your heads in shame.

These peple risked their lives to ensure you continue to live in comfort. They lost their limbs for the same reason.

can you, in all conscience, object to the purchase of this house for use by their visitng families?

 This facility is needed NOW for the families of servicemen and women who have made huge sacrifices on all our behalves. Those opposing it should take a long hard look at themselves.

 Time for some inspiration from Churchill, methinks:

"When you're going through hell, keep on going."

"Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."

I am so proud to be associated with this and am happy beyond words that so many people have got behind our campaign.

A huge thanks to all of those Ashtead residents who are saying "Not in my name!" and who have the moral decency to want to give a home-from-home to families who are suffering beyond most of our comprehension.

I love you guys!

PS Well done yourself Mrs. N - we're thinking of you!

 This campaign is so important, the result of the planning decision goes much further and deeper than the village of Ashtead - it will be a statement of how this nation intends to treat it's Armed Forces.

I urge Mole Valley District Council Planning Committee to make the RIGHT decision and allow the SSAFA application to go ahead unhindered.

 I fully support SSAFA in their wish to use 36 Grays Lane for this much needed facility.

I have been following this on ARRSE since it began and cannot believe the amount that has been achieved in so short a time (can it REALLY be only 10 days since the newspaper article that sparked this off?), well done to all those concerned.

The patients attending Headley Court should be given the best care that money can buy.
It makes me physically ill that this country can do so little after they have given so much.

These selfish people protesting this facility should be ashamed.
