***************************
Kent County Conference is tomorrow Saturday 15th January, it was my understanding that any Legion member would be able to “listen in” but not take part, however it is by Zoom for branch delegates ONLY, this is a disgraceful arrangement and to my mind falls short of a true democratic process.
Downs Branch Delegates are our Secretary Sue Andrews and member Adrian Friend.

VE Day Service @ Eastry Church Sunday 10th May
An open invitation from Terry James Chairman of Eastry RBL Branch
* Standards would be welcome.
* Starting at 10.30 am, the service should last about an hour.
* Parking can be difficult in the village. The most convenient places to park are Church Street and the High Street car park. Advise to arrive early to give yourself some “wiggle” room.
