 3 BACK TO REPORT LIST

Firstly, please accept my apologies for the meeting, as our own branch meeting is on Monday 16th May. We originally changed the day of our meetings from the 2nd Monday in the month to 3rd so as not to clash with parish council meetings.

Membership of the branch now stands at 18. We are still looking for new members, as with so many other branches of the legion, the membership is getting so much older, so should anyone know of any likely candidates for membership, please contact myself, or any member of the legion.

Ron Shaw continues to host our meeting at Fourways under the chairmanship of John Shakespeare. During the year we have held six branch meetings, to which we are grateful to our former chairman Ron Shaw. We hold our branch meetings on the third Monday, in the months of January, March, May, July, September and October.

We again had the support of Arthur Clarke as the area Poppy Appeal Organizer, ably assisted by Ted Howe. Also the support of the many other local volunteers, acting as house to house collectors. Our special thanks to those collectors who made the 2004 poppy appeal collection a record year along with the collections from the churches and the local schools. We are always looking for new collectors, most especially in the Beeston area.

We attended the Armistice Service in November at All Saints Church Litcham, followed by the memorial service held at the American War Memorial in Beeston. We held a Bar-b-Que. on the 6th June to commemorate the "D" Day landings. The event was held at Fourways, along with the Litcham Historical Society, also the Tittleshall Branch was invited.

John Jones, Branch Secretary, May 12, 2005
