However,i'm not sure how much use the site gets,the more we use it the better it will become (HOPEFULLY)
Some worthwhile discounts.

I just posted a message on an other website, I think now it should have been on this one! To repeat myself we are forming a local branch of THE NATIONAL MALAYA & BORNEO VETERANS ASSOCIATION in the Manchester area. Any Service personell, Police, Civilians attached and of course Ghurkas who served at any time in Malaya, Borneo, Bruni or Singapore may join. Please contact me at Pegasus2081@msn.com for futher details. Yours in comradeship, Bob Thompson.MM.

Further to my last post. The first meeting of the new branch will take place at the "OLD MONKEY" public house, Junction of Princess St/Portland St., Manchester City centre, @ 1300hrs. 07 January 2007. All Veterans and Serving Personell are most welcome. After the first meeting we will meet the second Sunday in each month.

I've said it before about these cards, just be careful. These type of cards are available from trade unions to knitting clubs to 5 a side pig rustling teams, The discount you might fancy now may be gone next week.

Pegasus, have you been in touch with SPVA? When it formed at easter it took into its fold the Veterans Agency up at Norcross. They are the main organisation for veterans (with all due respects to every other one, from the recognised ones to the fly-by-nights and the jobbing amatuers who do it for all the right reasons). regards and best wishes

Visit http://forcesdiscounts-mod.co.uk which is FREE to all serving regular, TA, Reserves and Retired HM Forces. No fancy plastic card just an A4 certificate if you are no longer serving. But NO Registration or Yearly fees.

Can't belive that my lad has done 5 years as an Office (he is 27 years old) and has a verterans badge. What is the minimum requirement to become a vet?

**oldbaldy** · 12-09-2008, 14:00

As far as I am aware there is no time criteria. Turn up and collect a badge.
