The Rev Rob Thomas, who is the curator at Bathampton Church has contacted me in respect of having a Veteran's Service in Bathampton Church on the 21st June.
This will tie in with our planned veterans weekend (20th - 22nd June), where we will have a fancy dress disco on the friday entitled "Bathford Malitia" (a chance for any ex-service personnell to brush the cobwebs off their old uniforms). On Saturday 21st June we will have the service at Bathampton Church at 11:00am and then back to the Bathford RBL for a spot of mess style lunch. On Sunday 22nd the Somer Group will be laying up the special Thresher's Standard (donated by Thresher's Bakery), with the usual Sunday Service at St Swithuns Church.
So if you are a veteran of any previous conflict or know anyone in Bathford, Batheaston or Bathampton that is then please let them know!
I believe that this will be a wonderful opportunity to promote friendship across the three villages and honour our veterans.
I will let you know of all the finer points when I have them.
A date for your diarys: on Sunday 3rd August we will be having another Poppy Appeal Launch Garden Party. More details to follow soon.

Bathford RBL Branch Chairman.
