AN AWARENES day was held by the Newton Abbot branch of the Royal British Legion.

On Saturday the Newton Abbot Royal British Legion held its first Awareness Day of the year.

Branch officers met with members of the public and chatted with them about the work of the RBL and offered interested parties recruiting information.

The weather, although not favourable, failed to hinder people’s interest; the next Awareness Day will be held on August 13.

Membership to the Royal British Legion is open to everyone over the age of 17 - to join contact [email protected] or call them on  0802 802 8080
