May - Monthly Lunch Club
We held our monthly Lunch Club at the Bridge House, St Neots into which we incorporated our celebrations for the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. Fish and Chips was featured on the menu for the day. We also held a raffle, the proceeds of which were donated to The RAF Benevolent Fund and The Normandy Memorial Trust. There was a great turnout of members and their families.
Christmas Drinks and Nibbles
The Committee hosted its annual Christmas Drinks and nibbles for our members, their families, and friends at the Barley Mow. The excellent food was provided by Karen and her staff. This was much appreciated by all those who attended.
Remembrance Day
Some members of the Branch Committee attended the St Neots Remembrance Day Service and our Acting President, Cllr Barry Chapman, laid a wreath on behalf of the St Neots Branch members. Despite the cold weather, the event was very well attended by many organisations based in St Neots.
