Litcham & District Branch
Annual Statement presented to Litcham Parish Meeting 16th April 2007
During 2006 the Litcham
& District branch and the Tittleshall & District branch of the Royal
British Legion, merged, to form a single branch under the banner of Litcham,
Tittleshall & District Branch. The reason being loss of members and the
increasing age of our membership. We continue to look for new members to join
the branch and any one interested please contact the secretary or any member of
the branch. Our current membership stands at 28.
The first Annual General
Meeting of the merged branch was held on 26th October 2006, at the
Tittleshall village hall. Dr. David Baldwin was confirmed as president, Mr.
Dennis Wick as chairman, Mr. Robin Roberson as treasurer and John Jones as
secretary & membership. Prior to the merger we held several joint meetings,
alternating between the Litcham Bull & Tittleshall village hall, which we
intend to continue along these lines in the future. In August we held a joint
Bar-B-Que. but owing to incessant rain, it was transferred at the eleventh hour
from Fourways to Tittleshall Village Hall, our thanks must still go to Ron
& Brenda Shaw for the use of their garden facilities prior to the last
minute move. The event was very successful, with the proceeds going to the 2006
poppy appeal. The poppy appeal for 2006 was again very successful and thanks
must go to Arthur Clarke acting as the Poppy Appeal Organiser, and the numerous
collectors in the surrounding villages and of course the generosity of the
local populous. The final total for the poppy appeal, along with Tittleshall���s
contribution amounted to ��1844 approximately.
We attended the Armistice
Services in Litcham, Tittleshall & Mileham also the memorial service held
at the American War Memorial in Beeston followed by a buffet lunch in Beeston
village hall.
We would like to record our
thanks to former officers and members of the branch for past support.
John
Jones, Branch Secretary
