The sun did shine although we did have plenty of wind !! The team manned the RCS2015 RAFA RAF St Mawgan stand early on the 4th June with Steve, Al, Chris, Paul and JB reporting for duty. Al had done a superb job in stocking the stall with some great kit to sell and get our funds on the up again. John Beale, being the expert that he is, was on hand to take charge of the name the bear ! The rest of us could only stand in awe of the way he let young ladies give him their mobile phone numbers !!!Please take note of the pictures he features in ! More pictures on the Facebook page. A good start for the three days – more to follow on the results when we get them.

It is with enormous pride that we can report a fantastic evening that was had by all that attended the Waterloo Band and  Bugles of the Rifles Charity Concert on Bank Holiday Monday. We raised some £ 2600 for distribution between RAFA RAF St Mawgan Branch, Royal British Legion St Columb Branch and the St Columb Major Church. We had invited two very talented Cornish youngsters to take part in the concert and play alongside the band. A unique opportunity which they both enjoyed and were able to make some new contacts to help with musical careers for the future. More photo’s available on the Facebook page. But it was a great night enjoyed by an audience of 200 plus.
