A wee bit about the RBLS connection

R.B.L.S MILLPORT BRANCH HISTORY

Founded in November 1922, making it one of the oldest branches in Scotland . The branch has had its ups and downs over the years, but is now, under the Chairmanship of Andy Bryan, his hard-working committee and many helpers, doing very well.

To our credit we now have a Branch Club, our own Branch Pipe Band, two Youth Football Teams, we also run our own Mini Coach adapted to take wheelchairs and passengers and have our old van for collecting bric-a-brac etc., for our many coffee mornings and book sales.

The Branch has had many highly commended certificates for the best kept War Memorial in our class in Scotland and have won the competition the last two years.

Help has been given to local organisations mainly in the form of cash and allowing them to use the premises for meetings etc. Thousands of pounds has been given to ex service charities, but mainly to Erskine Hospital . The Gurkha Welfare Trust has also benefited from our funds.

All projects cost money, so if you have any spare cash how about sending it to us here at:
