Ruddington and
District Royal British Legion
History
Ruddington Royal British Legion
branch was formed on the 12th of March 1935 in Ruddington. At that
time it had a legion responsibility for the parish of Ruddington a
village in South Nottinghamshire in the borough of
Rushcliffe. on the A60 some six miles from the centre of
Nottingham.
As the years passed two branches
Bunny and Willoughby closed and Ruddington took on the Legion and
Poppy Appeal responsibility for their areas and at the same time
added district to its name.
Now Ruddington & District Branch
covers eight parishes in south of Nottinghamshire, these
being, Bunny, Bradmore, Costock, Rempstone, Widmerpool, Willoughby
and Wysall which extends the District to the Leicestershire
border.
The branch which has 43 members is
active both at local and county levels and meets at 20.00 hours,
the first Thursday of each month at the St Peters Room,
Ruddington.
