. 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.
Messages posted in the last 24 hrs. are in White.
4th August Rochdale WW1 Memorial IP: 86.166.191.203 Posted on 25/7/2014 at 06:06:37 by Dennis Laverick Webmaster
First of all I have the story of the Memorial it used to be in the transport club where our Rochdale Branch held their meeting until it was pulled down Peter Clegg rescued it from the builders and recently sent it to the Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) asking if it could be put in the new interchange in Rochdale the names on it are the men who died in WW1 and worked for Rochdale Buses at the time.
The TfGM agreed it should go in the new Interchange as part of the WW1 commemorations and set to, to make this happen they want the Fusiliers involved as we are the local Regiment and there are some Lancashire Fusiliers names on it
So we are to meet at the Rochdale Train Station it is on MacLure Road Rochdale OL11 1DN (it is now a Metrolink station) at about 10 am on 4th August we them board the tram hopefully the Lancashire Fusilier and travel down to the interchange on that tram whilst we are traveling we have been asked if someone could say a WW1 poem ( I have asked Joe if available to do this) once we get there move across the interchange to the Memorial then it will be unveiled by the Mayor of Rochdale and Chief exec of Transport for Greater Manchester we then travel back to the Rochdale Tram and Train Station
