Royal Air Forces Association Rutland Branch RAFA Rutland - The Friendly Branch

RAFA Rutland the best RAFA Branch

Our Standard BearerDespite being the smallest County in UK, we have a thriving Branch that meets monthly on the first Wednesday of each month.  We believe that we are the best RAFA Branch.   Every year the RAFA Rutland Branch collects funds for the RAFA Wings Appeal to support those who have served in the RAF over the years.  Please support this worthwhile appeal.

RAFA Items For Sale

If you want to wear that RAFA Rutland sweater or buy a RAFA tie or badge then talk to Sonia Sutton who manages the RAFA Rutland RAFATRAD account.  Remember if you buy through the Branch we raise some more funds for Wings Appeal.

RAFA Rutland Next Meeting

Our next meeting is on the 1st September 2010 when we will have a Social meeting, along with Wings Appeal meeting at Cottesmore Sports and Social Club. If interested contact the Secretary. Meetings are normally held on the 1st Wednesday of each month in the Cottesmore Sports & Social Club – 7.30pm for 8.00pm.

Branch Secretary

We are looking for a new Branch Secretary as Derek Bury is stepping down after more than 5 years service.  Volunteers should contact Duncan Manderson, Derek Bury or Gordon Diffey.
