John Russell

We were sorry to learn about the recent passing of John Russell, who was a member of the Club at the end of the 1950s.

His funeral is taking place at Aldershot Crematorium on Friday 22nd February at 12 noon.

Armistice Centenary Lunch on 7th November 2018

While there have been two previous articles about this event, one on the website and the other in the May edition of London Roar, we would like to draw your further attention to what is going to be a most memorable and moving occasion to mark the 100th Anniversary of the end of the First World War and to honour those members of the Club who died fighting for the Country.
