Javea, Spain.

Our Anniversary Dinner, celebrating 100 years of The Royal British Legion and 30 Years of Javea Branch took place on 26th September 2021

After months of enforced closure, Javea Branch was able to hold its postponed Anniversary Dinner in Blackflame, Monte Pedreguer on 26th September 2021.  Initially planned for March 2020, the Branch finally managed to celebrate 100 years of The Royal British Legion and 30 years since the foundation of the Branch itself almost 18 months late.

The event was a sell out and we were treated to some fantastic food and live entertainment in the form of DJ Mick Dennison from PureGold FM and from “The Songbird” and “The Cheeky Blinder”.  Although the restrictions in place still didn’t allow dancing, it didn’t stop us singing along to some well known tunes and a fantastic time was had by all and it proved an outstanding way to not only commemorate the double anniversary but also to welcome new members and reconnect with old friends after so long.

Our thanks go to Mike Huggins for organising such a great event and to the staff of Blackflame for looking after us so well.
