Hyndburn MP Graham Jones made a visit to Rishton on 20th May to present a cheque to the local branch of the Royal British Legion. Graham made a pledge in 2010 to donate a large part of his official allowance to good causes within the borough and £250 has been allocated to the RBL which will go towards the creation of a pipe band. Various pieces of musical equipment have already been bought but fundraising continues for uniforms and other assorted sundries in order to get the band up and running properly.
The local branch of the British Legion is run by Carol and Martin Green and the next meeting is on Sunday 5th June at 2.00pm at the Conservative Club on Cliff Street. The website for the branch can be found here:
