ROYAL BRITISH LEGION COMPTON, ILSLEYS & NORREYS BRANCH

Remembrance Sunday Parade and Service 13^th November 2022 – this year the branch event will be in held in Hampstead Norreys.  The parade will form in the White Hart Pub car park and march off at 10.30am led by Pipe Major Ian Knight and drummer Mike Connor from the Oxford Caledonian Pipe Band. The march will proceed to Church and the service will commence around the War Memorial, which is situated inside at 10.55am. The service will be conducted by Chaplain Clive Jones and the Last Post and Reveille will be played by Trumpeter Aimee Jones. The collection will be in aid of the Poppy Appeal.

We are fortunate and indeed proud, that this event has gained a reputation of being very well attended by RBL members, uniformed youth groups, parents, parishioners and supporters. The Church has a limited capacity but we will do our best to give everyone attending the best experience that we can – with priority being given to the Youth Groups, but there may be a requirement for some standing.

Membership - we are a small but healthy branch and would welcome you as a member. You do not have to be ex services (or a senior citizen!) to join the RBL but only supportive of the charity’s objectives of looking after the serving and ex-serving community. The membership annual subscription is small at £17. To join, please contact one of the undersigned.
