This photgraph was taken at the RMA Reunion at CTCRM and is the highlight of the calendar. My wife and I went for the first time last year and thousands turned up for a brilliant 3 days. I came away thinking were had the time gone and how much I had missed the commradeship of these men.I'd not long been in the RMA and in fact didn't know it even existed until 4 years ago. The Wolverhampton Branch needs more members and that's a fact, the RMA as whole is growing but Wolverhampton has gone the opposite way. So many of our old and bold are ill or have gone over the bar.
The AGM on the 15th April starts the re-building of this branch and there are some fantastic ideas ready to be put in motion . A business student from Wolverhampton University is helping us to project manage 2 large, local events to showcase us.
If you are a serving or former serving Royal Marine (Other eligability includes RMR, RN, RM Band, families of RM's and other armed forces attached to an RM unit) and you live local, give us a call.
40Cdo are in Afghanistan until Christmas. Their families will need help as will some of the lads themselves. The Corps family looks after its own.
This branch has the potential to be a fantastic social hub and do a range of things to suit all, we've got plenty of sandbags to pull up, lamps to swing and dits galore. See you on the 15th?
