The veteran Issue 6

I am proud to
be a Member
of The
Alicante
Branch of the
Royal British
As Webmaster my main role is maintaining and
updating the Branch Website while my role as
Publicity revolves round keeping the Branch in the
public eye. This has been done by introducing this
Magazine, ‘The Veteran’ to both Members and Non
Members within the local Alicante area and beyond,
we currently have a readership of 1000+ per issue. I
have also been heavily involved in producing
articles for the Mellow Magazine a local magazine
for the Alicante area which unfortunately stopped
publishing in March of this year. I also provide
articles for the Legion Overseas Newsletter, the
District North Spain magazine and have had photos
published in the National Newsletter and ‘The
Legion’ our national magazine. I have also taken
over the Branch Facebook page on a temporary
basis.
Although I enjoy all my work with the Royal British
Legion and certainly being the editor of this
Legion
magazine gives me great satisfaction I believe that
my greatest achievement was heading the team
that succeeded in erecting our Memorial in Castalla
International to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of
the Royal British Legion. The Memorial gives the
Branch and local community members a focal point
for Remembrance Services and quiet
contemplation.
This year we will see services for the Falklands 40, the 40th anniversary of the liberation
of the Falkland Islands as well as Remembrance Sunday.
Finally I must thank all Branch Members and Members of the Community who have given
input to the Branch website and the various publications that the Branch has been involved
in.
