Scarborough Branch Notes/Membership Application
I would just like to say a few words about the newly formed Scarborough Branch and how it was formed and the aims of the Branch.
The “branch” was actually born in September 1993 when we had over 350 ex First Tankie’s attend a reunion in the TA Centre in Scarborough, this was done totally by word of mouth and no advertising so as you can see, the lads were keen to get together and meet up again. We have met every year since and have gone from strength to strength with over 500 ex 1RTR (and some who served with us from other Arms and Corps – all having been proud to serve with us at one time or another) registered and on the data base.
These members are living all over the UK and throughout the world so we are not really a “local branch” so to speak. This was in line so as not to take memberships away from other branches and to give the members a sense of belonging to the Regiment they served so well over the years. Most of the members are members of the Association but not a local branch. They were encouraged to join local branches for the benefits of being in a branch but voted to go the way we are going.
The aim of this particular branch is to have an open door membership, not to have a regular meeting place, but meet in different areas once every three months with the AGM held in Scarborough every September.
The AGM will be held at in Scarborough on Saturday 12th September at 1200hrsin the ballroom of the Grand Hotel
The application form for membership will appear on the 1rtr.net web site – once the main screen appears click on the central box and this will lead you into the branch web site with details of all events and news of what is happening within the branch. (There are lots of old photos of 1 RTR and lots of other information also on this site).
Membership is open to all retired and serving members of the Royal Tank Regiment.
