19 members were present for the April 2016 branch meeting. It was nice to see Mike (tankie) Brandwood at his second branch meeting, he even brought Mrs Brandwood.
The Loyal Toast/ Toast to the Regiment went ahead followed by a minutes silence for Chris Godlington 1RTR and Trev James 2 RTR. Neither were members of the branch but both were known to people within the branch. Minutes of the March 2016 meeting were carried. A wash and brush up regarding the Church Service and Curry Lunch at Bovington was carried out. The Chairman commented on the very good branch turnout at this function. An update on Cambrai 2017 was given.

It was confirmed that Dave Orman will represent the branch at the "Not Forgotten Association" Garden party being held in the grounds of Buckingham Palace in May 2016. Ken Holland brought an example of the Table Centre piece being created for formal functions. The branch secretary gave an update on guest speakers currently in the pipeline.
