London Office Annual Gathering

13th May 2026

KJ/DH

Dear London Veteran,

It was great to see such a good attendance at the Doggett’s on May 14th for our seventh annual get-together. The weather was very kind to us and as always, the Doggett’s did us proud.

Please find attached a Newsletter from David Hatch to commemorate the occasion, which hopefully will give a flavour of the event both for attendees and for those who unfortunately could not join us.

At the event, attendees donated generously towards the Veterans’ Welfare Scheme raffle, and we would like to thank everyone who contributed.

For anyone else who wishes to support former colleagues less fortunate than ourselves, you firstly need to go to https://www.sainsburysveterans.co.uk/ and then click on the purple box labelled ‘Donate to The Sainsbury Veterans Welfare Scheme’ at the top of the page.

As you can see from the Newsletter, next year’s event at the Doggett’s has already been scheduled for Wednesday 13th May 2026 if you want to put that in your diaries now.

Finally, if you know of any colleagues who would like to join our group, please get them to email londonofficemembership@virginmedia.com and we will add them to the membership list.

Many thanks,

Keith and David

On behalf of the London Office Veterans Committee
