… to the web site of the LONDON IRISH RIFLES ASSOCIATION.
The next date on the Association calendar is the AGM/Annual Lunch, which will take place at London Scottish House in Horseferry Road from 11am on Saturday 1 June. The Annual General Meeting is a most important occasion with so much to review and discuss this year. Booking details for the Annual Lunch have now been sent out to all members and you can also find out more by contacting us directly.
Looking further afield, members of the Association will be undertaking a pilgrimage to Italy from 11 to 16 May 2024 to attend commemorations of the two battalions of the London Irish Rifles’ time when they were embattled in early 1944 at Castelforte, Anzio and Cassino and also to mark the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of Rome. Exact dates and timings of all the programme of events will be added to this website and everyone will be welcome to join us in Italy at any time during the week.
The 2024 Emerald has been sent out to members in early April… as always, it is an excellent read.
Continue to keep in close contact with us, whether it by regularly visiting this website or joining the Regimental Association and coming along to one of our parade days.
