At the meeting this month the chairman was able to confirm that a booking has been made for the annual dinner, and all being well, it will be at the Worcester Warriors Rugby Ground suite at Sixways on Sunday, September 9. Any members wishing to attend or bring family or friends should contact John Mason for further details.

We are also able to announce the compilation of a diary of branch activities for the year and this is available to all members and will be circulated.

There will be a Group 3 - organised Drum Head service on Sunday, July 22, with a parade of standards to be held at Leigh Memorial Hall and as many members as possible are asked to support this local event.

The week before on Sunday, July 15, the Three Counties Rally will be held at Hereford, starting at the cathedral, and once again as much support as possible is requested.
