Alrewas & District RBL
The Alrewas & District Royal British Legion Club is based on Rykneld Street in
Burton-on Trent and plays an important role in the local community. The club is led
by Chairman David MacNulty who is supported by Secretary Lesley Arnold and is
progressing well under their guidance.
The branch itself was formed in 1921 which is the same
year as The Royal British Legion was established and has put
together a proud history since them. They made the move to
their current headquarters, a refurbished Roadchef, in 1995.
They will be keen to build on their proud history and
currently have more than 400 members of which 30 are part
of the growing Women’s section. They have built a reputation
for being a small, friendly village club where newcomers will
always be given a warm welcome.
The club does a fine job of providing people in their area
with an opportunity to take part in a variety of different sports.
Perhaps the highlight of this is the Crown Green Bowling
which is a great way for people to interact as well as take part
in active and competitive sport.
They also have indoor sport and recreational facilities
including snooker, pool, darts and dominoes which further
serves to illustrate their commitment to playing an important
role in the local community.
The club also has a fully licensed bar serving traditional
ales in a comfortable environment with visitor experience
being enhanced by Sky Sports television. There is plenty of
other entertainment on offer for those that want it as well with
a programme that includes regular live music and bingo.
They are always keen to welcome any parties visiting the
National Memorial Arboretum and offer a wide range of meals
from sandwiches right through to a three course meal, freshly
prepared in their own kitchen. There are also a wide variety of
hot and cold drinks on offer by prior arrangement.
The Alrewas & District Royal British Legion Club really is a
fine example of the important role that a well-run, hardworking
set up can play in their local community. The people that give
up their time to continue to provide such a superb service
deserve tremendous credit for the work that they do.
Hopefully they will be able to continue in the same manner
for many years to come and everyone at Sport in Profile
Magazine would like to take this opportunity to wish them the
best of luck for the future.
