Our Summer Ball was held on Saturday, 8th August, at the Lyceum, Port Sunlight, Wirral.

The Summer Ball was sold out well before the event, making it one of our most successful functions ever.

Many thanks to all who attended, and special thanks to the behind-the-scenes folk who work so hard to make these events such a success, Derek Mulvihill, Brian Smart, Ron Hutchinson and Alan O'Flanagan, to name just a few.

So sit back and relax and enjoy the short video of our 2026 Summer Ball

The sleep out is taking place in the grounds of Chetwynd Barracks. We will be sleeping under the stars so we can raise money for veterans who are unfortunately living on the street.

If you would like to donate, please go to www.234vets.co.uk and click on the "donate" button. You can donate as little or as much as you want.

All the funds raised go towards our former military brothers and sisters who are in less favourable conditions than we are.
