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, should anyone know of any likely candidates for membership,
please contact myself or any member of the legion.
Ron Shaw continues to host our meetings at Fourways. During the
year we have held six branch meetings, to which we are grateful
to our former chairman, now acting as Vice-chairman. We hold our
branch meetings on the third Monday in the months of January,
March, May,July, September and the Annual General Meeting in October.
We again were fortunate in having the support of Arthur Clarke
as the area Poppy Appeal Organizer, along with the support of
the many other local volunteers, acting as house to house collectors.
Our Special thanks to those collector who made the 2005 house
to house collection for the Poppy Appeal a record year along with
the collections from the churches, local businesses and the local
schools. We are always looking for new collectors, more especially
in the Beeston and Lexham Areas.
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 in August to commemorate
VJ Day, marking the end of the war in the Far East. The event
was held at Fourways, along with the Litcham Historical, also
the Tittleshall was invited.
