CHARITABLE ADVERTISING on Web Site There are many worthwhile charitable causes in existence, but we can only accept sponsorship or fundraising efforts on Fusilier Association websites, that specifically support approved Fusilier charities. This essentially means that it is acceptable to use these pages to seek sponsorship for The Fusiliers Aid Society (which includes Fallen Fusiliers), and The Fusilier Memorial fund only. We now have our own dedicated justgiving site (http://www.justgiving.com/fusiliersaidsociety), which you can use to help raise money for your cause. If you let RHQ (Asst Regt Sec) know the specific cause you are raising money for, it will be directed to the correct fund. Messages soliciting sponsorship for causes or charities other than the Fusilier ones mentioned above should not be placed on the message board and may be removed by the Webmaster.

What an amazing Minden!!!
You will have to forgive me for the moment but, I am a bit overwhelmed, due to one or two pleasant events over this weekend.
On Saturday I attended the Minden Dinner with my wife Barbara which was a lovely occasion The dinner was excellent also was the entrainment. The company was outstanding, “ Thank you “ fellow diners. The highlight of the evening for me was, to be presented with the XX The Lancashire Fusiliers Certificate for Service to the regiment by a person who has become a good friend encouraged and, advised me on many matters.
“ Thank you Capt. Joseph Eastwood BEM, “.
On Sunday I attended The Minden Drum Head Service in the Gallipoli Gardens in Bury with My wife, son & daughter in law
and the grandsons; During this Service I was presented with
the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers Medal and, certificate of Merit.
To say I was completely taken by surprise is a big understatement.
Thank you to all who thought I was worth the honour of receiving this award.
The reason I am writing this is to say That this award would not have been, without the help of “ The Welfare Team “
Standard Bearers - Dennis Laverick,- Steven Fit, -Paul Deeks, Kevin Hestlewood. Welfare Visitor Colin Dunning, Buglers Kirstan Hall,last but far from least My dear Wife Barbara who has been my “ legs “ for quite some time now god bless her.
Thank you one and all for your invaluable help over the years.
