. 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.

this was on Face book yesterday I know the majority will be in Bury that morning but the information is below
Next Saturday, the 25th, there will be a Gallipoli Centenary Church Service at Pendleton Church to remember those from the Manchester Regiment and the Lancashire Fusiliers who took part in the Allied amphibious assault on Turkish territory that began on 25 April 1915 and which went on to claim the lives of 40,000 Allied servicemen in the next 4 months. Those who wish to wear blazers and medals are welcome to do so. The order of events for the morning is;
0900 Breakfast Club open for tea and toast and cereals
1000 Church service commences
1030 Parade at the war memorial inside the church grounds for Last Post and wreath laying ceremony - standard bearers welcome!
1040 Breakfast club re-opens for refreshments, bacon, sausage and egg rolls/sandwiches
1230 Breakfast Club finishes
There will be a collection for the church at the end of the service. Geoff, the landlord from The Church pub and ex-REME, would like to welcome anyone who wants a pint to join him - big beer garden out the back and children welcome! Please share this and let's have a good turnout! There will be a similar church service on Saturday, 19 September, to remember the 1,441 British servicemen and women who died while serving on Operation Banner between 14 August 1969 and 31 July 2007.
