THE women's section of the Royal British Legion is desperately seeking members. The Thornton Cleveleys branch recently had to close due to dwindling membership just a year short of its 65th anniversary. To re-form the branch, a new chairman, vice chairman, secretary, treasurer and seven committee members are needed. Interested ladies can contact North and East Lancs County Secretary Edith Turner at 36 Alderfield, Penwortham, Preston PR1 9HB, or on (01772) 745839.
