The Sandbag Times Issue No: 45

Information
A word from the Ed
Hi folks and I do hope you’re all
enjoying the wonderful sunshine
here in the UK. Oh, I wish. In
the middle of magazine writing,
trying to help the centre, trying to
launch a project, walking the dog
and making dinner, I do get the
odd five minutes to take in the
lovely weather. But on to the
minutes of the meeting. I do hope
you’re all getting the jist of Op
Wamits. Basically, I’m asking all
of you to walk a mile (or more)
hopefully in military style
footwear (not essential but it will
make it a little more realistic) and
then post it on Social Media for
all to see. On your video, please
state anyone you may be doing it
for but most importantly highlight
to veterans in your area where
they can get help. If you are
unaware of these details then let
me know and I will get the details
for you. Hopefully by spreading
the word will inform your
veterans where they can turn to in
times of desperation. We may
just be able to stop a few more of
the growing trend of suicides here
in the UK. We have a bit of a
bumper issue this month, many
thanks to all who have
contributed articles and bits and
bobs. I have to say it is a great
read. Special mention to the
Union Jack Club, Yes Society, our
very own Julie Warrington aka
Mrs Fox, AFVBC boss, Dereck
Hardman and all of our regular
writers. Wow!! Should keep us
all going for a while. I need to
say a big thanks to our patron,
Matt Neal for popping over to
visit a few weeks ago. He really
is a great ambassador for us
veterans, he even forked out for a
round in the pub after the meeting
(need to teach him about
Guinness though). There are
some great things on the horizon
from our Matt but more on that in
the near future. Just want to say a
huge congrats for getting himself
into 3rd position in the BTCC this
year. Thats it from me, laters! Px
