A new Veterans website, Have a look  HERE.

In October 2009, a group of patients in Headley Court discussed the possibility of a web site that would be useful to British Veterans. We knew that there were a number of sites already out there, however we wanted a site that was designed and maintained by veterans. The site would be totally unofficial; not reflecting any views or policies by the Ministry of Defence, but giving objective news, articles and recommendations that may be of interest to veteran.

The link to this site can also be found in the Related Links Section

News Flash

The date for the RFA Reunion 2011 has been set as Saturday 14th May 2011 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Nottingham hosted of course by our Midland Branch. This hotel, formerly the Royal Moat House Nottingham is the same venue as in 2004, have a look HERE for some pictures of that event. Further details, prices, deals on rooms etc will be posted in due course both here and in the next edition of Gunline so please watch these spaces.

We have made some enquiries looking at the possibility of running a coach trip to the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas on Sunday 15th May. It's about an hours drive so it would be effectively a 4 hour excursion and would cost around £10 per head assuming a small coach can be filled.
