PLYMOUTH COMMANDO REGROUP COMNITEE MEETING
Committee meeting held 19 July 2022
Firstly I would like to apologise for the confusion on the meeting dated (01 July).
Welfare: Ram Jam Singh: quick update from his daughter Parveen, Ram Jam was on a visit to Route 66 with “Ride for Veterans”, on a pre-planned overnight stop, he left the hotel on a quick walk before the evening meal he collapsed and died from a heart attack, he didn’t suffer it was instant, his daughter has asked if any of the Commando Brotherhood could attend the funeral, with the coffin drape and standard also if possible a bugler to play The Last Post. Date is TBC
I have put Parveen in contact with Plymouth coroner’s office, direct number with a family member and ex-serviceman who works within the office; he’s now assisting the family direct.

Armed Forces Day BBQ
A big thank you to Eric and Neil for the Armed Forces entertainment and the splendid BBQ,
The BBQ had a overspend which was paid from monies collected on the day, also the group and children's entertainment was paid from monies made on the day. The committee was informed by the entertainment rep that monies collected at the BBQ from the raffle and jackpot joker is being held in the West Hoe safe until treasurer returns to Plymouth.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I have spoken to the Central Treasurer and Secretary on a few occasions offering our support, informing the treasurer of the type of bank account required and sending the secretary documentation he may require to take up the post.
Plymouth CGR will no longer be running external functions, no requirement for any further action is needed due to Plymouth CGR never becoming part of the Central Regroup.
Information: The committee will be re-addressing the constitution once in situ.
CGR Secretary.
