“I am delighted to have been appointed to the role of Chairman of the Victory Services Club, and to be able to build on the excellent work of my predecessor. The Club is in extremely good condition, has strong support from our membership and has an excellent record of delivering our charitable objectives. With the club now re-opened after lockdown, and providing a Covid-19 safe and compliant offer, we look forward to seeing the return of many members to use our impressive facilities and enjoy the wonderful service from the staff. Although we are still unable to re-open our events and conference facilities, the Club is fully prepared to do so, when allowed. I look forward to working with the military charities and the Armed Forces Community to see how the Victory Services Club will be able to provide support in the future”.
