A SPECIAL ceremony has been held to mark the centenary of the Royal British Legion. Geoff Page, president of the Middlewich branch of the RBL and Ken Kingston, chairman, each placed a wreath at the town s war memorial on Saturday. Representatives of the Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force and Merchant Navy laid wreaths at 9am on Sunday to replicate the same actions at the exact moment the charity was formed a century ago with the laying of wreaths at Whitehall in London. Ken Kingston said: At that moment, the four organisations united to become the British Legion. Founded by and for Armed Forces personnel. Its constitution was proposed by a soldier and seconded by a general. There would be no distinction between rank, religion or political affiliation.

PART of the burgeoning arts scene on the far south coast, the new Headland Writers Festival kicks off this weekend at Tathra, with talks, workshops, readings and performances.
It’s a labour of love for creative director, singer/songwriter Myoung Jae Yi, who urges would-be visitors to “be inspired by the sublime beauty of Tathra and see the world anew”.
There’ll be conversations with authors, talks, workshops, performances, live music and readings, but the main focus is on books themselves which, he believes, “afford us precious time to reflect and reconsider what is important to us, rejuvenating our minds with new ideas and time-worn truths”.
