Charity Evenings

Three times a year the club donates our table money and anything extra which members and visitors wish to give to charity. This is usually a local charity but the club occasionally supports national or international causes.

On 12 June the club raised £325 for Bournemouth Food Bank.

On 2 October the club raised £340 for Poole Food Bank

On 4 December the club raised £380 for the Salvation Army's BH1 Project

The club has donated £8757 to various charities since 2013.

Thank you to everyone who supports our charity evenings.

Stephen Coltman

It is with great sadness that we recently heard that Stephen has passed away. Stephen has been a very loyal and much respected member of the club for many years and we will all miss his calm, friendly and helpful manner and also listening to his interesting, and at times, amusing anecdotes during his time in military service, Our sincere condolences to his family and friends.

The funeral will be held on Thursday 9 April 2026 at 12 noon at Lady Immaculate Catholic Church in Westbourne, Bournemouth. https://catholicwestbourne.org/ This was Stephen's local church and there are plenty of local carparks nearby.

The mass will be followed by a quiet family burial. A reception will follow at the Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel. (BH2 5DU).

Stephen has asked for donations in lieu of flowers to either BLESMA (British Limbless Ex-Servicemen's Association) &/or the Ghurkha Welfare Trust. Please send any correspondence to 86 East Avenue Bournemouth BH3 7DD, where Stephen's children, Tim, Nigel or Charlotte will pick it up.

For catering purposes, if you are planning to attend the reception could you please let Alan Kirk know alankirk81@gmail.com. 01202 939842
