Birmingham International Convention 2009

 


An interesting item was brought to the club's attention on Tuesday 8 April, by Terry Onion of Atherstone RC. A group of people are setting up a charity called "Troop Aid" to provide immediate essentials to the wounded men and women soldiers returning from the Middle East warzones. Since they arrive with only the clothes they are in, this charity aims to provide at least some essentials such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, jogging trousers and T-Shirts. Please go to our "Projects" page for more info about this initiative. Can anyone please take some items to be packed in the bag left by Terry Onions for delivery to Troop Aid for the next meeting?

 

Check the Club Diary as there have been a few amendments to the dates. There is also a reminder from our president Celia to give her any completed volunteer forms for the 2009 Convention.
