Planning is being conducted to superimpose Grenadier Day 2010 over the very successful âGrenadiers at Littlecoteâ gatherings that Colin Knight and John Southern organise and hold at Littlecote House (Hungerford, Berkshire RG17 0SU). The venue will be fully booked for Grenadier use and careful reconsideration of costs revealed that, as an âoverlayâ to that weekend, Grenadier Day at Littlecote could be covered by the existing budget. There are numerous things to do at Littlecote and Grenadier Day could be extended into the evening with a fireworks display etc. We await further detail on this, but if you would like to attend then please make contact with me ASAP in order we can organise the correct amount of transportation.
The Wigan St. Helens and District Branch Originated from a meeting of 25 former Grenadiers under the Chairmanship of Capt. A. Angus a Vice President of the Liverpool branch of the Association held in the Royal British Legion Club in Upper Dicconson St. Wigan, from this meeting the branch was founded in 1974 as a sub branch of the Liverpool branch.
The Branch holds its meetings at 8.30pm the last Tuesday in every month December excepted, at the Royal British Legion Club Upper Dicconson St. Wigan which is central to the area covered by the branch covering East Merseyside, West Greater Manchester, North Cheshire and the Fylde coast.
Membership is open to serving or former Grenadiers and serving or former members of other Regiments of the Household Division. Contact the branch Secretary for More Details.
