Lincoln Inn Defib pads

We recently contributed to funding the purchase of a new battery for the Lincoln Inn in Knightswood. Here’s what they said:

Wow just Wow ❤️

After a whip round last week to raise £75 for our Defib pads (they were running out of date) we noticed our Defib battery was nearly done!

These batteries last 4-5 years and we are hitting the 4 year mark since we got the Defibrillator. A new battery cost £250

Thanks so much to everyone who chipped into our bucket over the weekend.

Huge thanks to oor Terry and The Parachute Regimental Association Glasgow & West of Scotland Branch who donated £100 towards the battery ❤️❤️ great job as always Terry 🥰

With this final donation we can now order our new battery 🥳🥰

Big hugs to Maria she’s forever helping to make the Lincoln a better place 😊

Thanks everyone ❤️

Members, the Trustees, having sought advice from OSCR, we are pleased to announce that we can use Branch finance to subsidise at this stage, 10 members who would like to attend the 80th Day Day Tour 5 -8 June 2024 but were maybe put off with the initial cost £449 (£519 if only 30 travelling)

On that note if you would like subsidised you need to come along to Glasgow Central Stn this Saturday, 24th Feb at 12.15pm, meeting under the clock. You will have to complete a form and you will have to pay your deposit of £60 then.

If more than 10 show up and wish help afraid it will have to be names drawn, as there is only 10 spaces.

There was a General representing the Polish Army and some Military attaches also, one Polish Navy, their in the pictures.

Hal had the Generals Great Great daughter(His) along too and he said to me, whilst trying to hold his laughter in that he explained to the Polish Military Officers the difference between a Glasgow 😃 and a Glasgow Kiss. 

Hal sang the praises of our Branch
