15 members were present for the September branch meeting which was also the Annual General Meeting.
The chairman gave his annual presentation, the committe was re-elected but with a new welfare officer in post following the existing welfare officer deciding to stand down. It was agreed to raise subscriptions from £5 a year to £10 and to have the membership "year" from January to December which will make it much easier for the treasurer. Members were reminded to send in the Cambrai lunch returns if they are intending to attend the function. The guest list for the Ladies lunch in January was agreed. The Branch Standard will be on parade for the RAFA Battle of Britain church service in Poole in September and at the Remembrance Sunday service and parade in Poole Park. The Scarborough branch plans for Cambrai 2017 were put before the branch for consideration to see if there was a desire to join with them.
The guest speaker planned for September ( OC, Royal Engineers Wing at Bovington) was unable to attend and we are looking to re schedule him for the new year. The branch was reminded that the guest speaker for October will be Major Simon Worth, OC "Cyclops" our affiliated Sqn within the Regiment.
