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

and
during
the
year
organise
various
events
in
order
to
raise
funds

works.
There
are
also
parties,
tea
afternoons,
and
trips
to
places
of
interest
for
our
members.

to
one
of
our

us
a

we're
sure
you'll
be
pleased
