A wreath was laid by Charlotte Bennett, the branch secretary. County committee members Pete Eldridge, county chair, Fiona Lovesey, county vice-chair and Rob Lovesey, county recruitment, attended the centenary event.
Although 2021 is the 100th anniversary, many branches throughout the UK are struggling to stay open as Royal British Membership is falling due to the age demographic of many of its members.
