A NEW breakfast club for current and veteran members of the armed forces has been launched in Hereford.

The group met at Gilbies Bar and Bistro in Hereford on Saturday and will take place every two weeks.

Lynne Gladwin, organiser, said: "It went really well. We were really pleased with the turn-out.

"Our members are all ex military, current military and their families.

"The club is there for breakfast and banter, and offer support if and where it's needed. We network with other groups like Hereford Veterans Support Group, SSAFA, Royal British Legion and Herefordshire Civilian Military Task Force to name a few.

"It's a chance for veterans to get out, catch up, meet new people, tell their stories."

The next breakfast club will take place on April 15 from 9.30am.
