TRBL Sponsored swim @ Centre of the Universe pool

On Thursday May 16th, @ 9.00a.m, there will be a sponsored swim at the Centre of the Universe pool to raise money for the RBL. The plan is to swim 2,5km (100 lengths of the 25m pool ).

Currently taking part are myself and Nancy Lindley.

1. If anyone else would like to join us, please let me know and I will provide a sponsorship form.(participants do not have to be RBL members)

2. I will be registering the swim on the Just Giving web site, so that anyone taking part can ask friends and family anywhere in the world to sponsor. Its a really simple process and I will send the link out in due course.

Any questions, let me know.

Hello all,

Just a reminder that the Chiang Mai Swim team- John Burnett, Jaa, Ian (Kamala), Nancy Lindley and myself will each be attempting to swim 2.5km at the Centre of the Universe pool next Thursday.

We have had a good response to requests for sponsorship, but even more would be great!!!

If you would like to sponsor an individual, or the team, you can do the following:

1. For an individual-send an email to Maj. Ron Rae, Secretary, who will forward your message to the appropriate person.

2. Come along to next Wednesdays social and give the money to Maj Ron or swimmer/team.

3 Call into Kamala’s any time and leave your money with Ian

4. Log onto our Just Giving page and donate using your credit/debit card-wherever in the world you are. We’ve had donations from Canada and UK and have over GBP 100 so far.

Dear all
Could bring the below to the attention of all our overseas members, if you click on the link, enter Poppy in the search bar you see the extensive items for sale.

It was brought to my attention that a number of Poppy branded products are being sold via the web site www.sportingkicks.co.uk

The Legal team has given some background information to this company. Around August of last year, they received by email photographs of badges bearing images of TRBL’s Poppy emblem; these were sent in by Claire Hill, a Trading Standards Officer of London Borough of Redbridge Trading Standards.

After an internal investigation, it became clear that the products were not produced by, with the consent of, under the authority of, or on behalf of TRBL, nor were they in conformity with any type approved by the Legion.

We were under the impression that the items in question had been seized. However, we will now contact the local Trading Standard’s Officer and find out what has happened to the case and notify them that the company is still selling pin badges with our Poppy emblem.

We have been asked not to support this company. I would be grateful if you could inform the membership about this.

Many Thanks
Rod.

Pattaya Bikers join Remembrance Day Services alongside British Legion

Over 40 Bikers left Pattaya this morning, after meeting in Soi Siam Country Club Road to begin their charity ride to Kantchanburi for Remembrance day

Organised By the Royal British legion in Pattaya, the “Gang” met for breakfast, amid a cluster of gleaming heavy machinery, before splitting into two groups for the ride which will take them on local roads only to Kanchanaburi, via Bangkok where they will meet others who are taking part.

The fund raising ride is a new addition to the series of events organised by the legion to raise funds for Thai and international charities, as Westerners remember the fallen from the wars.

On Sunday, the bikers will join hundreds of others who attend services in Kanchanaburi, Home of the legendary Bridge over the Kwai , held to remember those who have lost their lives through war. The Sunday ride will be alongside people from all nations and include one man who is walking the journey from the border to Kanchanaburi as a marathon to raise funds

The Service will be attended by dignitaries including the British Ambassador and possibly William Hague, along with many top representatives of the Thai Nation.

We did It!!!, One Million Baht raised for the Poppy Appeal
