About Us
The Royal Tank Regiment Association has its headquarters in Bovington, Dorset and is a Registered Charity. It is a national organisation and its aim is to promote the efficiency and espirit-de-corps of the Regiment. The aim is achieved by:
* Coordinating, advising and assisting local branches of the Association.
* Assisting members and ex-members of the Regiment to find suitable employment after leaving the service.
* Assisting, through the services of the Benevolent Fund, members and ex-members.
The Cymru Wales Branch works towards re-establishing the comradeship that existed whilst serving in the Regiment and to that end we aim to provide:
* Opportunities to meet fellow Tankies and comrades.
* Opportunity to trace old comrades.
* Monthly Social Meetings.
* Organised Trips and Visits to Places of Regimental Interest.
* Welfare Support to Those in Need.
We are always pleased to see new faces at our meetings and social events. If you would like to join us then please scroll down for further details.

May 2012 - A small gathering was held at the Columba Club on the 3rd May. The Plymouth and Bristol Branch are sharing a coach to Cambrai in November. They have
a few spare seats and would be delighted to welcome any members who wish to go from our Branch. Early indications suggest that we may have 6 wishing to go. Terry can
provide more details on request and will liaise with them on our behalf. All the best to Ron and Tom who are expecting to have surgery imminently.
Previous 2012 News

At this time, our thoughts go out to the families who have recently lost loved ones in Afganistan.
February 2012 - Since the last update there have been a few key events. In November, we had the AGM and the Branch Officers were elected on block to serve for
another year. Remembrance Sunday was well attended by our Branch members in Cardiff. We also had representatives at the London Parade the following week and at
the Cambrai Lunch at Bovie once again. New pictures will be appearing on the pictures page...slowly!!!
December saw delivery of RTR hampers to our more immobile members. A great social evening at the Columba Club was attended by the vast majority of the Cardiff area members
and some friends of our association. Many thanks to member Stan and his wife Liz for organising such a fantastic buffet. Just before Christmas Ron suffered a mild stroke but was home
in time for Christmas and is doing well. Also our thoughts go to Tom Perkins and family, as his mother recently passed away just short of her 100th Birthday.
Details of any of the above can be found via your usual "grapevine" or by contacting Terry. Next meeting March...date to be confirmed.
At this time, our thoughts continue to go out to the families and friends of any service personnel who may have been injured or killed in action across the world.
