Tweedsmuir Presbyterian 186th

On Sunday, May 7, 2023, the Tweedsmuir Memorial Presbyterian Church observed its 186th anniversary. For us here at the Orangeville Legion, it was an even more special day. The special guest speaker had extended a personal invitation to the members of Branch 233 to join him at this event. That special guest speaker was none other than Reverend Harvey Self. Harvey is a veteran and was a long time member of our branch as well as being our branch padre. Reverend Self was also the pastor for Tweedsmuir Memorial Presbyterian Church for quite some time. After the morning service, the church held a pancake luncheon which we thoroughly enjoyed. This gave us all the opportunity to visit with Reverend Self and get reacquainted. 

It sure was great to see Harvey again.

After attending the 186th anniversary celebration/church service at the Tweedsmuir Presbyterian church, our President, Comrade Barry Kimber had the great pleasure of presenting Comrade Greig Laing (Branch piper) with his Branch Service Medal. Congratulations go out to Greig on receiving this medal and as well the thanks for the many years of support he has provided to our branch. (P.S. Greig is the taller one).

NEW MEMBERS WELCOMED

Our general meeting of March 27 saw the installation of two new members, Paula and Richard Russell. Welcome!

    The wooden poppy from Wales!

     On Saturday, 13 July 2019, a day which was one of remembrance, when we said goodbye to our comrade Don Patterson, four members of Branch 233 Orangeville got to open a very special box. This box came from a gentleman named Kelvyn Jenkins who lives in Wales and is a member of the Royal British Legion. In the box was a British Wooden Poppy. What a beauty it is. We have to thank Comrade Jenkins for the lovely Poppy as well as our own Comrade Rose Elsdon in whose name it was delivered to the Legion. It will be put in a place of honour. As we say, “Lest We Forget”, “We Will Remember” and we will REMEMBER.
