The Royal Green Jackets Associa on
SUFFOLK BRANCH As normal our year started with the Ladies Dinner Dance in March which was well attended, to add flavor to the evening we were well supported by the Band and Bugles from 7 Rifles who played for us during the meal as well as two members from 1st Bn 95th Rifles Re enactment who turned up in full dress, very popular with the ladies!!!! In June we had our annual BBQ which was again hosted by Julie and Larry Lamb, we had a great turn out and the weather was kind, this event grows in popularity and is open to all - Julie really excells herself with the amount and choices of food and deserts on offer, you'll not find better any where. Remembrance Sunday, luckily East Anglia escaped the worse of the weather we had a dry blustery day which caused Steve our Standard Bearer a few problems trying to stand upright. Felixstowe turns out en mass, with the
crowds growing larger every year, as our numbers have dwindled over the years we now form up with all Veterans for the march pass which receives great applause from all as they line the route. Great having a Green job in front with the Standard many cries for keep the pace down went un answered!! 0844 873 0000
