Frome’s first Veterans’ Breakfast has been hailed a success after more than 30 people attended the inaugural event aimed at bringing together former service personnel.
The gathering at The Cross Keys pub in Blatchbridge on 4th April was welcomed by a five-piece bagpipe and drum band.
Member Laurie Magee said, “It was a terrific success. The pub was filled with service vets from all three services who not only enjoyed a five-piece bagpipe and drum band to welcome them to the breakfast but a hearty meal and great banter.”
The Armed Forces and Veterans Breakfast Club is a national organisation providing a supportive and welcoming environment for veterans.
Organiser Alex Anderson launched the Frome group following the success of a similar initiative in Warminster.
The Frome group meets on the first Saturday of each month at The Cross Keys at 10.30am, with breakfast served from 11am.
