KEIGHLEY Royal British Legion is still going strong.

That was the message this week from branch bosses as incorrect reports circulated that the group had folded.

“It couldn’t be further from the truth,” said acting chair Jackie McGinnis.

“We have more than 60 members on our books.

“The confusion was caused by an entry in the minutes of another branch, which stated we’d closed.

“This is completely incorrect.

“I want to reassure everyone that we’re still here.”

The Keighley branch stages its next meeting on Friday, February 8, at the Drill Hall bar, Drill Street, off Lawkholme Lane, at 7.30pm.

“Members old and new are welcome to come along,” added Mrs McGinnis.
