Presentation

Steve Staples presented this cup to our branch and is a former Royal Marine who now works at the school of boatbuilding. He acquired some genuine HMS Victory oak and decided to turn it into a goblet to be used on Trafalgar night (21st October).The idea is that the loyal toast (of Rum.... Nelson's blood) is toasted using the goblet.
I suggested that we asked the Lyme Museum to keep it . It deserves to be seen.

The opening of the Poppy appeal at Cerne Abbas

On Friday I attended Cerne Abbas for the opening of the Dorset Poppy appeal. I have enclosed a copy of the event and some pictures. It was really a great event and gave the appeal a tremendous send off. The unveiling of the Poppy on the hill next to the well known Cerne Abbas figure was the feature of the event. The parade of the standards and the ceremony did Dorset credit. After the event the village hall was open for tea coffee and bites which was excellent . Well done all those concerned in this event. Our guest for the day was a 90 year old member pictured here
