Standing proud, Bill Hayles (Chairman) and Jim Whindle (Secretary of the Branch)
ust to let all know that the West Yorkshire Branch of the REME Association is still here. These are photographs of myself selling poppies on the day of the 11th November 2021 as a member of the Guiseley Branch of the RBL with Elsie Turner “the Boss” of the branch who puts in so much effort every year in organizing the poppy selling around Guiseley. The other photograph of myself and Jim Whindle, the Secretary of the Branch at the Remembrance Service on the 14th November at the Cenotaph in Bradford. Jim is also our Standard Bearer but due to injury was unable to do so that day. A volunteer within the Branch stepped forward. Jason Townsend who had never done the job before did a grand job after a very quick rehearsal. On the 28th November we celebrated our Founders Day with a Lunch at the 6 Acres Restaurant in Tong, Bradford. Due to the weather and illness there were 12 members present for a very nice afternoon. If there are any Retired or even still serving members of the REME who live in West Yorkshire and would like to join us in the Branch please get in touch via the REME Association or RHQ, and they can put you in touch with Jim or myself.
