Plymouth Branch - RTR Association
Welcome to the Plymouth Branch of the Royal Tank Regimental Association's little bit of webspace.
The Royal Tank Regiment Association's headquarters is at Bovington Camp, Dorset. The Association, a Registered Charity, is a national organisation and it's aim is to promote the efficiency and espirit-de-corps of the Regiment. This is achieved in a number of ways:
- Coordinating, advising and assisting local branches of the Association.
- Assisting members and ex-members of the Regiment to find suitable employment after leaving the service.
- Assisting, through the services of the Benevolent Fund, members and ex-members.
The Plymouth Branch works hard towards re-establishing the comradeship that existed whilst serving in the Regiment and the Armed Forces in general and to that end we provide:
- Opportunities to meet fellow Tankies and comrades.
- Opportunity to trace old comrades.
- Monthly Social Meetings.
- Organised Trips and Visits to Places of Regimental Interest.
- Welfare Support to those that may need it.
- An annual sit down dinner.
- A 'sandbag' to sit on and remember the old times.
We are always pleased to see new faces at our meetings and social events and we welcome new members both ex - Royal Tank Regiment and from other arms. A warm West Country welcome 'with open arms' awaits all. If you would like to join us then please click on 'JOIN US' for an application form that can be downloaded and returned by Email/Post to the Branch Secretary.
