Conference Motions
At our meeting, we discussed and agreed the line to take by our delegate at Conference. Here is the outcome of the motions that were debated. Motion 1 failed to achieve the required majority. All of the others passed.
Motion 1. This conference requests that the Ceremonial Working Group consider abolishing the
procedure of wearing a disassembled Poppy behind the RBL cap badge for Standard Bearers
and Parade Marshals.
Motion 2. The Mawdesley RBL Branch requests that the Board of Trustees canvas the Prime
Minister and HM Government to make good on a pre-election pledge to support Veterans,
and their dependents, who during the nuclear testing programme during the 1950's were exposed to high levels of nuclear radiation, and have suffered health problems because of this..
Motion 3. This conference requests that the membership handbook is updated to reflect the
need for all County, Branch officers and committee members complete the necessary training
which is considered essential to ensure that they understand the workings of a branch and
how do manage their role within the branch. The MS1 should be amended to contain a signed
declaration to that effect.
Motion 4. This conference asks the Royal British Legion to introduce a National Award for individuals who are not members of the RBL family, to recognise exceptional work that actively supports the work of the legion.
Motion 5. This Conference requests that the Royal British Legion amend the Ceremonial
Handbook and associated policy to require all Standard Bearers to undertake a mandatory
Standard Bearer training session annually.

policy to explore opportunities for sourcing its merchandise within the UK or Commonwealth.
