The Invictus Games takes place at Birmingham National Exhibition Centre (NEC) next year 2027 between 10th and 17th July.

On Weds 14 July 2027 - Bridgwater RBL branch is planning to provide coach transport to the Invictus Games NEC. Likely times are 08.00 departure from Bridgwater and return departure from the NEC approx. 20.00. As things stand, the cost per person will be £25.00. The cost of sporting sessions at the NEC is in addition to the coach and you will have to book these yourself. You may of course prefer to make your own way to the event on a different day.

If you do wish to use the coach, then you will need to email [email protected] At that time, we will advise you about paying for your coach journey.

On the day we have selected (14 July), the two main events are Wheelchair Rugby and Power Lifting. We are unlikely to be there in time for the morning sessions.

Tickets go on sale for the general public on 22nd October.

Online link to Invictus Games website:
You can use this link to find out all about the games, book sessions, or just get a Festival ticket. https://www.invictusgames2027.org/

One person can book up to 10 (including themselves) So if anyone wants to get a small group together, you can then get tickets that will seat you all together.

📚 Book Exchange at the Touchpoint
Several members have suggested starting a book exchange at the Touchpoint, and we're delighted to say it's now up and ready to go!

A big thank you to Lin Davies for kindly donating the bookcase, and to Adrian Matthews, Roy James and John Tucker for installing it.

Bring along any books you've already read and swap them for something new from the bookcase.

We've also added a selection of military books, so if any catch your eye, please feel free to borrow them. Once you've finished, simply return them so other members can enjoy them too.

Happy reading!

Ladies & Gentlemen

Thursday 16 July, 0830, Sedgemore crematorium.
There has been a request from Lyndsey at Ark, for anyone able to attend an RAF Veterans funeral.
The gentleman did not know many local people, so if anyone can go along to honour his service that would be good.
Personally I am at a family funeral in Luton that day, so cannot attend. His name is Alan and I understand was a WWII vet.
