The Silent Tribute and Exhortation at
our June meeting were led by our Chairman, Bob Jennings.
During the Silent Tribute we remembered the late Don
Carter, a member who passed away recently. The Branch
was represented at Don's funeral and at that of Jim
Wheeler. The chairman reported that he had attended
a Forum, led by Bryan Emery (County Chairman Essex
RBL). Bob said the forum had been very fruitful with
many constructive ideas being put forward. These would
be collated nationally for discussion at the National
Conference.
The next meeting of Group 5 RBL would be held at
The Recruiting Sergeant, Horstead on Wednesday, 10th
July at
3 pm.
This year the County Rally, held on 16th June, was
combined with a Jubilee Family Fun Day complete with
Bouncy Castles, roundabouts, Tombola, sideshows and
a car boot sale. There was an exhibition of military
vehicles and music was supplied by a RAF Band and
a Pipe and Drum Band. A display of marching was given
by the County Standard Display Team. The focal point
of the rally was, of course, the annual Service of
Remembrance led by the Rev Canon William Sayer (Deputy
Chaplain to Norfolk County RBL). The County Chairman,
Mike English led the Silent Tribute and Exhortation,
which included the Last Post and Reveille.
The next Branch meeting, will be held at the Coltishall
Church Room on Monday 8th July at
7.30 pm.
