For our members, more than one tear was shed as the standard was laid up because of its history. It is sad to see the branch close, but there was nothing else we could do."

"I wanted to undertake a charity challenge of some kind and walking the Fosse Way was a bit unusual," said Matt. "As an ex-soldier I am aware of the amazing work done by BLESMA to support limbless veterans. Steve has been involved with the Anthony Nolan Trust and wanted to help them further. We hope to raise as much money as we can for two very worthwhile causes."
