AT a committee meeting on Tuesday, April 10, the first item on the agenda was the Poppy Appeal.

The treasurer was pleased to announce that we reached £4,011 for 2006/7 - an increase of £115 on the previous year. This is an excellent result for a small branch.

A report was given on Group 3. It is the turn of the branch to host the Group 3 meeting this month. As we do not have a club this will take place at Claines Royal British Legion club.

Correspondence was dealt with and a long discussion took place about the annual supper. In view of the advancing years of branch members, this may be replaced with a lunch.
