poppy field

Whitley Bay

Over the past few years the Branch has assisted Schools, Scout Groups and Cadet Units learn about the subject of Remembrance.

If your school or youth group would like one of our members to come and give a talk or help with a school assembly please contact our Chairman, Michael Dale by emailing chair.whitleybaylegion@gmail.com

Michael's illustrated talks usually cover the subjects of who we remember including a couple of local case studies, the reason for using the poppy and are followed by his own experiences in the 1991 Gulf war. The sessions usually end with the opportunity for people to try on military uniforms and equipment, however everything can be altered to fit your school or group's particular requirement if enough notice is given.

Please note that we are limited to how many school talks we can do each year due to our volunteer's work commitments so requests will be dealt with on a "first come, first serve" basis.
