Welcome to the Little Common Branch of The Royal British Legion
 |
Ernie the Poppy Man (made by and
named after Branch and Club President Ernie Eldridge) welcomes you
to the Little Common Branch of the Royal British Legion. He
spends most of his time watching over the activities in the Club's
Gillham Room, but ventures out from time to time for fundraising
events around Bexhill.
|
The Branch meets at 10.45am on the
first Wednesday of the month at the Club in Meads Avenue, Little
Common.
If you would like to help with the
2012 Poppy Appeal, please visit our Poppy Appeal page.
Membership of the Royal British Legion is open to
everyone. If you have an interest in the objectives of the
Legion and want to help and support for those who have served and
their families, come and join us. We welcome men and women of all
ages, whether they have served in the Armed Forces or not.
Legion membership ensures that
- Remembrance is kept alive and that the sacrifices our brave
Service men and women have made are never forgotten.
- The ex-Service community have a voice and that their concerns
are brought to the public eye.
Becoming a member also provides the opportunity to get involved
in a wide range of activities and events held locally, regionally
and nationally throughout the year.
If you wish to contact us or to report any inaccuracies or
omissions on this site, please email the
Secretary.
About The Royal British Legion
The Royal British Legion is the UK's leading Armed Forces
charity and one of its largest membership organisations. Members
get together through the network of branches and clubs all over the
country and overseas to participate in social, fundraising and
welfare activities.
We provide financial, social and emotional care and support to
all members of the British Armed Forces - past and present and
their families. The Legion is also the national Custodian of
Remembrance and safeguards the Military Covenant between the nation
and its Armed Forces and is best known for the annual Poppy Appeal
and its emblem the red poppy.
Founded in 1921, the Legion is not just about those who fought
in the two World Wars of the last century, but also about those
involved in the many conflicts since 1945 and those still fighting
for the freedom we enjoy today.
