Barton-under-Needwood Branch of the
Royal British Legion was formed in 1946. The Royal British Legion was
formed in 1921 and is the nation’s premier ex-service charity. Its
objects include promoting the welfare of ex-service men and women and
their dependents and relieving hardship among them where it exists;
raising and distributing money for these purposes; assisting serving men
and women to return to civilian life. Barton Branch carries out these
objectives locally, from visiting the sick to obtaining grants for
welfare purposes or arranging convalescence. Remember you don’t have to
be a Legion Member to ask for help from us.
Barton Branch meets on the second Tuesday of each month, apart from
August, at 7:30 pm in Barton Bowls Club, Dunstall Road. New members are
always welcome to join. The Branch organizes the annual Poppy Collection
in the village and the village annual Remembrance Parade on the second
Sunday of November, this marches off at 10:00 am. The Branch also
observes the TWO MINUTES SILENCE at 11:00 am on 11th November at the
village War Memorial in Main Street.
The Branch participates in No. 1 Group Sports during the winter months.
This is a social evening playing other Branches in the Group at Crib,
Darts, Dominoes and Whist. |
