Presidents and Chairmans Reports
These were in the form of an annual report which were read out by the secretary. The chairman added that he was going to mention individuals. However, as the events are all caried out by the team it was not appropriate. The aim of the branch is to ensure that we are able to make people aware of remembrance and the associated work around that. As most people have someone, they are aware of who have been involved in a conflict.
