South West NS(RAF)A celebrate 10th anniversary

Some 80 members of the South West Group of the National Service (Royal Air Force) Association and their guests gathered for a celebratory buffet at the White Ensign Club in Exeter in early June on the occasion of the Group’s tenth anniversary.

The local Group was established in 2005 with a nucleus of twelve members, while today over one hundred RAF National Service veterans are “on the books”. Nationally the organisation can boast a membership of over 2400.

The Group was recently represented by eleven members at the Armed Forces Day parade in Exeter.

Details of membership can be obtained from Derek Lord at 24 Middlewood, Cockwood, Starcross, Exeter EX6 8RN (Tel: 01626 890207).
