BRANCH BULLETIN JUNE 2011
43.11 NEW STOCK ITEM - LADIES BROOCH
A well designed ladies brooch has been added to the stock held at the Rifles Durham Office. It is circular in design with the DLI badge in the centre and is about the size of a £2 piece. They are reasonably priced at £9.50 and can be purchased in the usual manner.
44.11 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MINUTES
A copy of the Minutes of the Executive Committee Meeting which was held on 15 June 2011 are enclosed with this Bulletin. Please ensure that their contents are made known to your members at the next available meeting.
45.11 ANNUAL REUNION 2011
The Warning Order for the 2011 Annual Reunion was recently dispatched to all branches. Please ensure that bids for accommodation and meals are mad in accordance with the time table and that all cheques are made payable to the “DLI Central Bank” and crossed A/C Payee Only.
46.11 SWEEPSTAKE
All branches with the exception of Horden & Peterlee have been supplied with 120 books of tickets and it is hoped that these will be sold as early as possible. Please note that our target donation for the DLI Memorial Appeal is £2000 and to achieve this we must sell all 3000 books. Only 260 books of tickets remain to be distributed and if any branch requires more books of tickets then please collect from the Rifles Durham Office. The response from those on our mailing list has, as usual, been superb.
47.11 CHRISTMAS CARDS 2011
The 2011 Christmas card is at the printers and will be available shortly. It is a very colourful card featuring a Bugle Major of the 68th of Foot circa 1850 standing on the banks of the River Wear with a background of the Castle & Cathedral. The price will again be .75p per card.

48.11 INDOOR GAMES 2012
You will note from the Executive Committee Minutes that it has been agreed that the Houghton Le Spring Branch will again host the Indoor Games. They will be held in The Royal British Legion Dubmire Club at Fencehouses on Sunday 25th of March 2011.
49.11 CHRISTMAS CARDS - PREVIOUS YEARS
A quantity of Christmas Cards from previous years is held in the stock room in the Rifles Office Durham. These may be purchased at the greatly reduced price of 10 for £.3.00. These are of course not dated but orders should be collected thus avoiding the madness of the postage costing more than the cards.
50.11 STOCKTON BRANCH - MEETING TIME
The Stockton Branch now meet on the 4th Wednesday in the month at 2 PM in the Rimswell (Hotel) Pub, Bishopton Road West, Fairfield, Stockton On Tees. This afternoon meeting is a new initiative which branches may wish to consider, especially over the winter months
51.11 BERLIN MEMORABILIA.
The Curator of the Allied Museum in Berlin is mounting an exhibition to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the erection of the Berlin Wall. As the 1st Bn were stationed there at the time he is anxious to acquire memorabilia from that period, especially a BD Jacket. The exhibition will run from August 2011 until January 2012. All items will be returned to the donator after the exhibition closes. Contact the Rifles Office Durham if you can help.
