Tomorrow is the annual act of Remembrance at 11:00am where we will pay our respects to the fallen from past conflicts. Afterwards we will be gathering at the Riverside Club in an informal atmosphere to relax and remember our friends.
I have been asked why the Riverside and the answer is thus.

Just after the First World War the Riverside was constructed as a Comrades Club where veterans could meet and relax and share their experiences long before PTSD was recognised to try and help them readjust.

Earlier this year the Bedale Branch of the Royal British Legion and the Bedale and RAF Leeming Branch of the Royal Air Forces Association separately decided to return to their ‘spiritual home’ and now hold their monthly meetings there.

Jointly in conjunction with the Riverside committee it was decided to make Sunday special by holding this event which includes music and food.

First up at 2pm will be the ever-popular Cherry Tones, a lovely couple of ladies who will get you singing and dancing to wartime songs and then more modern classics and then later at 4pm, Revolver Duo who will help rock the late afternoon and evening away.

Snacks and nibbles are being provided by the various committees and later on the Fantastic Yorkshire Waiter will be on site to purchase great toasties etc.

We hope you can find time to come and join us and have a drink and a chat.

If you are a veteran that is struggling, please remember you are not alone, there is help out there so talk to someone. We know what you are going through.
