The Ross-on-Wye Branch of the Royal British Legion are very grateful to the members of Ross Choristers for donating £1,000.

Graham Aplin (Chairman) and Margaret Jones (Secretary) collected the cheque on Monday evening. In his acceptance speech Graham thanked everyone for singing so wonderfully at the Concert in November. This year, with the help from the choir, and the support received from the people of Ross at all the events, the Branch has raised over £10,000. This will be used to help veterans, those serving today and their dependants. On behalf of the Officers and Committee members he wished everyone a very happy Christmas and New Year.

Margaret reminded everyone that the Royal British Legion is there 365 days a year for all who have served their Country – it is not necessary to be a Legion Member to get help and advice. Anyone can call the help desk on 0808 802 8080 from 8am to 8pm daily.
