Meet the Committee

Andy Welch - Branch Chairman

I have been a member of the RBL since I left the Royal Navy in 2004.  Having recently retired I find myself with more time to dedicate to the Branch and help further the aims of the RBL.

I served in the Royal Navy from 1980 until 2004, all of my time spent on Submarines or in Submarine related jobs.  Since leaving in 2004 I have had a few Jobs, predominantly in the care sector helping young people with extra needs.  I have been a Pub Landlord in Boston and very recently worked at Dobbies as Santa Claus (Shhhh, don't spoil the magic!).

As Chairman I want to build up our membership after it declined steeply due to the Covid Pandemic.  I also want to get the RBL message out there, tell people what we do and who our beneficiaries are.  So look out for us at community events.

Now (2024)                                                          Then (1980)
