(tel 41062) Village social organisations have a vital role in not only fulfilling the clubs identified purpose but in creating social get together, vital rents for village premises and fundraising events which in themselves create social contact for all ages. One such organisation that continues successfully is the Royal British Legion. The purpose of the Legion is well known and the local branch raises very valuable funds by Rummage Sales, Street Collections, Coffee Mornings and the Annual Poppy Collection. The Women’s Section meets monthly in the winter months for a social get together. Mrs Jane Jaynes has been a member for over 50 years and is current Chairman while Cyril held posts on the Men’s Committee. It is pleasing to see that the younger members of the community have come forward and continuing the good work. Jean Johnson is now Chairman, Vicky Jenkinson is Secretary of the Ladies section but the Men’s Section needs new members whether ex service or not.
