Ford & District Branch of the Royal British Legion has been supporting the armed forces community, its members and their families since 1931.

We hold our meetings on the second Tuesday of the month at Bicton Club & Village Hall (at 1930hrs), in the comfortable surroundings of the club room, and usually do so over a drink from the bar. Meetings are an opportunity for members to get involved in the running and management of the branch. 

We currently have two youth affiliated groups: Pontesbury Detachment of the Shropshire ACF and 1119 (Shrewsbury) Squadron Air Training Corps.

Membership is open to everyone - you needn't a military background but should have an interest in the objectives of the legion and want to help and support those who have served, and their families. 

You are more than welcome to come along and see what being part of the legion is all about without the need to officially join - in the first instance, at least. It's not all about formal meetings, but fundraising and social gatherings, too! 

To come along to a second meeting you will be asked to become a member of the Royal British Legion. Doing so is simple. 

In additional to the wonderful social benefits, legion membership ensures that:

• Remembrance is kept alive and that the sacrifices our brave Service men and women have made are never forgotten.
• The ex-Service community have a voice and that their concerns are brought to the public eye.

Becoming a member also provides the opportunity to get involved in a wide range of activities and events outside of branch, too.

About The Royal British Legion

We provide financial, social and emotional care and support to all members of the British Armed Forces - past and present and their families. The Legion is also the national Custodian of Remembrance and safeguards the Military Covenant between the nation and its Armed Forces and is best known for the annual Poppy Appeal and its emblem the red poppy.

Founded in 1921, the Legion is not just about those who fought in the World Wars of the last century, but also about those involved in the many conflicts since 1945 and those still fighting for the freedom we enjoy today.
