The Royal British Legion Thailand

[TropicalBerts]

The Royal British Legion are fairly well established now in a number of areas of Thailand, Pattaya, Korat and Chiang Mai but we could certainly do with more members from the Bangkok area. We are fast approaching Remembrancetide when we will be putting out collection boxes in a number of bars, restaurants and even International Schools within Bangkok, we could certainly use a little help doing this. We will also be attending the Remembrance Service at the British Embassy on Sunday 14th November, a first for us this year will be a full Service of Remembrance at 10.30am on Thursday 11th November at St Nikolaus Church Pattaya.

It's not all work, whilst our primary role is the care and welfare of those who have served, are serving (within the UK Armed Forces) and/or their dependents we also have a very active social calendar including trips to the the River Kwai for ANZAC Day and Malaysia every June.

Our man in Bangkok is Antony Bell who has already approached a friendly Landlord willing to host the group and offer discounts to members, you can contact Tony at [email protected] who will be able to provide you with an on line application form, details of where they intend to meet etc, it's a great way to both get involved and make new friends. You do NOT have to have served in the Armed Forces to join.

Many thanks for your time.

Good luck to you all.

Someone managed to organise a small ceremony here on Samui last year at the Elephant & Castle. I hope that they do it again this year.

Hello All,

My name is Tony Bell, as Bert has said I am looking to build on the membership numbers for the RBL here in Bangkok. I am not looking for people to do anything (apart from helping out with poppy boxes and such) as I will handle most things here until the membership has grown to 15+.

We will be having our get togethers at the crossbar on the 3rd Sunday of every month, in October its the 17th, November its the 21st and December 19th starting at 2pm, for lunch and a few beers. If the membership grows, then we will look to increase the amount of times we meet each month.

Initialy, the meets will be there for us to promote the Legion and to increase membership numbers.

You dont need to have served in the armed forces or be British to join the Royal British Legion!

Contact me on [email protected] or on 0846415202 and I will be happy to help!

Thanks

Tony!

All Good Bert!

Everyone, just to remind you that the RBL (BKK) will have its first meeting tomorrow at the Crossbar on Soi 23, The landlord will be putting a Roast pork loin on with all the trimmings for a great value of 200Bahtpp, then of course the scouse derby is right after! Get yourself down and support the RBL!

The start of the Bangkok Branch went well, we had about 30 people in the Crossbar and we now have a total of 18 members, A great start!

If anyone else would like to join us, our next meeting will be on the 21st of November, once again at the Crossbar!

You can alternatively contact me at [email protected] and I can supply you with an app form and infomation.

Thanks, and thanks for the turnout!
