October Veterans Hub

03 October 2023 - Veterans Hub

Epsom and Ewell Royal British Legion and Epsom Rotary again welcomed regular veterans at the monthly Veterans Hub hosted at The Army Reserve Centre Ewell. All veterans and guests were again made very welcome and enjoyed the company of both organisations, volunteers and fellow veterans this morning. There were in attendance Graham Jones MBE Councillor and Barb was able to provide details of up and coming events organised for the Veterans. There will be a special commemorative November Hub and trips organised and a group of veterans will also be supporting the Quiz organised to support the Veterans' activities, which include model making and archery.

I enjoyed speaking with a few of the veterans today, one outlining his upheaval with plumbing around his home and his dilemma with excessive bedding which now fills his bedroom.  He will overcome this upheaval and was glad to be at the group today. Another veteran was exhilarated by the fact that he was offered the opportunity to fly in a micro=plane recently and brought in his joyous pictures to share his recent experience.  We were also able to assist a veteran with arranging her annual flu jab.

We are still grateful to Radio Jackie for the donation of the mugs which makes for a better offer of refreshments. Thanks as always of course go to Maggie and Tony of Epsom Rotary and Barb of Epsom and Ewell RBL.
