Bournemouth, Poole & District branch RTR Associat

[son-of-tiny]

The branch meets 1st Tuesday of each month at 8pm (except Jan & Aug) at the ex servicemens club North Road Parkstone (Poole). Average attendence is about 15 people. With the very high levels of ex RTR people in the area it really should be a bit more

email from tiny hart

No problems, average attendence is now about 18 each month. We have guest speakers most meetings which go down really well.

I'm the secretary of the branch. I can be contacted on 01202 778551. This number in each edition of the tank Mag so is not secret. I am "Tiny" Hart ex 1 RTR

We should have more ex 3 RTR due to our location, so yes lets have more armoured farmers at Bournemouth & Poole.
