• Club closed - saw a loss of substantial amount of members;
• Regrettably, majority of Branch Committee had to resign due to other commitments
and sadly the longstanding Branch Secretary passed away.
• Branch members made the decision to close yet some stalwart members decided
that they would not see the loss of the RBL presence within the local area;
• Mr Ted Williams (long standing member & CPM) rallied his contacts together who,
after some persuasion, accepted the roles within the Branch Committee;
• Since the Branch's resurrection from the brink of closure the Committee and
members have gone from strength to strength. They have:
o Held numerous LIC events throughout the year;
o Produced a leaflet to advertise the RBL Membership within Camborne (pushed out
in local paper - paid for out of own funds);
o Holding talks with local cadet units ref affiliation;
o Secured a shop to carry out Poppy Appeal - generated an increase of over 8%
• Camborne Branch are truly deserving of this award and can only be seen as a credit
to the RBL!
