The North East Branch will have its Standard Dedicated at the Veterans Day Commemorative Service at Newbiggin by the Sea on Sunday 5th July 2009 .   This is an event that is organised by the local branch of the Royal British Legion and includes a Tattoo (11.00h) , Drumhead Service (theme 65th Anniversary of  Normandy ) .

The Dedication will take place after the Drumhead Service .

There will be four bands present ( Northumbrian Water/Ellington Colliery - Morpeth Pipe Band - Casino Band - ATC Band ) .

Twenty one Standards will be on Parade from various organisations  and about 400 persons .

Everyone is welcome to attend ( use satnav NE64 6XX ) . For parking there are two parks available . Just ask a Marshall present .

Those attending are pleased asked to let us know the number of persons in your party .

As this is an outdoor event then the vagaries of the weather kick in . If inclement then the Tattoo will be cancelled and the Service will take place in the Church .   The length of March off from the Parade is approximately threequarters of a mile .   Any queries please ring me .
