Branch subs   this year they are reluctantly increased to £17 and are due to be paid to the treasurer now if not already paid. Please send any cheques, made out to REA Bournemouth, to the above address for John Cusack. Thank you to those who have already paid, but there are still many members who have NOT paid their subs. We now have internet banking so anybody wishing to pay on line just ring John or email him on jfp.cusack@hotmail.com and he will give the details.  

 

Branch Meetings   we were hoping to resume Wednesday evening meetings on 21^st October but following guidance from REA HQ Chatham and the new lock down this is no longer possible. 

 

Branch Lunches   

The lunches for November will not now take place due to the new lock down measures. Many thanks go to Zoe and Lee and the team at Ferndown RBL who have made so much effort into welcoming us back into a safe environment when the last lock down came to an end and for doing such a good job under such difficult conditions, and with such good humour!!  We all want to wish the staff all the very best over the next month.

 

Remembrance Day November 2020

Bob Perry was also due to take Bob Hucklesby to Southampton on 18th November for the Return from Japan Memorial Service but of course we can't do that either but Bob tells us that the Mayor of Southampton will be laying a wreath to commemorate this event and that the BBC will be filming it. John Griffiths laid one of the Branch wreaths at Ferndown RBL and Bob Perry laid the other wreath at the Poole Park Memorial. Bert and Dot Martin laid crosses at the Mountbatten Memorial in Poole Park.
