'Death of ano<strong>the</strong>r soldier <strong>in</strong> Afghanistan'<br />

Sadly this has become an almost daily occurrence, but <strong>the</strong><br />

trerrible truth is that many more are wounded, many of<br />

<strong>the</strong>m seriously. Some recover completely, but o<strong>the</strong>rs are<br />

left with physical or mental problems, which can be<br />

devastat<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividual and his/her family. This is<br />

where <strong>the</strong> R.B.L. steps <strong>in</strong>, fund<strong>in</strong>g or modify<strong>in</strong>g suitable<br />

accommodation, assist<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>for</strong> a 'civvy street' job<br />

and support<strong>in</strong>g dependent families- all of which needs a lot<br />

of money! The annual Poppy Appeal is <strong>the</strong> ma<strong>in</strong> fund raiser<br />

<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> R.B.L.- although we to cont<strong>in</strong>ue rais<strong>in</strong>g funds<br />

throughout <strong>the</strong> year - and we hope you will give generously<br />

this year.<br />

We have changed <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>mat of our Poppy Appeal Sale this<br />

cup of tea/coffee, take a chance at <strong>the</strong> Tombola, maybe<br />

buy a cake or someth<strong>in</strong>g from <strong>the</strong> Sales Table. Better still,<br />

Fitzpa<strong>in</strong>e Conservatives<br />

After <strong>the</strong> hectic activities surround<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> election,<br />

and due consideration of what it means to be <strong>in</strong> a<br />

coalition, our activities seem to revolve around food,<br />

dr<strong>in</strong>k and fundrais<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

We held a very successful barbecue, socially as well as<br />

f<strong>in</strong>ancially, on a sunny day <strong>in</strong> June. We were also <strong>for</strong>tunate<br />

<strong>in</strong> July, when we held a coffee morn<strong>in</strong>g outside and <strong>the</strong> sun<br />

shone. There were no events <strong>in</strong> August, which given <strong>the</strong><br />

wea<strong>the</strong>r was just as well!<br />

By <strong>the</strong> time you read this we will have celebrated with our<br />

‘Pudd<strong>in</strong>gs Even<strong>in</strong>g’. For all those who struggle through ma<strong>in</strong><br />

courses <strong>in</strong>spired by <strong>the</strong> sweet course to follow, this is <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

ultimate sort of event. No fill<strong>in</strong>g you up with starters and<br />

ma<strong>in</strong> courses, just tuck <strong>in</strong>to your pudd<strong>in</strong>gs … provided by a<br />

number of members and presided over by Maralyn and<br />

Malcolm H<strong>in</strong>xman.<br />

Still relaxed about day-to-day politics, our next major event<br />

will be our Christmas D<strong>in</strong>ner on 3rd December at <strong>the</strong> Lyme<br />

Regis Golf Club.<br />

Its not just armies that march on <strong>the</strong>ir stomachs!<br />

Visitors, non-members and even non-believers are always<br />

very welcome to attend. We hope that you enjoy our<br />

company so much that you jo<strong>in</strong> us. New members,<br />

particularly committee members, will help us thrive.<br />
