On Saturday 31st January 2015, shipmates from Rhondda Branch set up a stall at Sainsbury’s supermarket in Pontypridd. Between 1000 and 1600, SMs Paul Gower (Chairman), Graham Warner (Hon. Secretary), Cath John (Hon. Treasurer) and other shipmates spoke with shoppers to inform them of the activities of the Royal Naval Association.

The RNA caps are always a hit with children (and a few adults).

Rhondda Branch was re-commissioned in June 2014, therefore this was a great day to get out and promote the aims of the RNA and to raise awareness of who can join up, and of course a great opportunity to raise funds for charity.

A great day of fundraising and showing the local community what the Branch can do for serving personnel and veterans alike, BZ Rhondda Branch.
