WOMEN’S SECTION
The Women's Section of the Royal British Legion is a
friendly and lively group that welcomes new members. The
section meets at the Legion Hall on the 2nd Thursday of
each month 13.45-15.30, except in December. Should you
wish to join us, it can be done at one of these meetings.
We are of course a charitable
organisation, and during the
year organise various events
in order to raise funds for our
benevolent works. There are
also parties, tea afternoons,
and trips to places of interest
for our members. Please
come along to one of our
meetings and give us a try, we're sure you'll be pleased you
did.

Our extensive programme provides financial
