Saturday 20 June saw Branch members attending the Annual Hythe Armed Forces Day in Oaklands Park. Whilst this is a Council organised event the Branch makes a significant contribution to its organisation. Armed Forces Day began with a Parade and Service to honour our Armed Forces and Veterans. The service was led by Susan Shorland-Compton who was ably assisted by the Branch Chaplain – Dudley Shipton. The Mayor of Hythe, the Right Honourable Pauline Curran welcomed everyone to the event and the Deputy Lieutenant of Kent - Mr Geoff Miles gave a short address. Following the service a family fun day rounded of off the event with local organisations taking part and free entertainment for all. The Branch raised £96 for Branch Funda and £170 for the Poppy Appeal.
