Reservists show Christmas Community Spirit

By | 12th January 2014

Reservists from 234 Squadron, 156 Regiment RLC, Cpl Philip Neale, Pte Robert Coyle, Pte Nick Bioletti and LCpl Jim Parsons, decided to find two local underprivileged families in the Wirral area, through the local charity called ‘ Community Spirit ‘, that could not afford to buy any presents for their children at Christmas. Cpl Neale thought that it was really sad to know they could not afford to buy presents.

Every child should have presents to open on Christmas Day so the four got together and asked shops to donate as well as approaching comrades, families and friends. The response in two weeks was. They had toys for all nine children and took them round to two separate families on Christmas morning. The response from the Parents and children was unbelievable and made it all worthwhile.

Congratulations to RLC soldier LCpl Stu Elvin of the Mission Training and Mobilisation Centre (MTMC), Bassingbourn Barracks, who has received two bronze medals at the World Rowing Indoor Championships 2021. LCpl Elvin has represented the Army in rowing for a number of years. Having individually qualified at the British Championships for the Men's (age 30-39) 500m to race at the World Championships, he was also selected to represent the Armed Forces in the Men's Team race. The races took place on 23 Feb 21, where LCpl achieved third place in his individual race and an hour later, he received another bronze medal as he played an integral part of the Armed Forces Men's Team. His commitment and success in rowing is nothing short of impressive with his ability to balance work, training and family life along with the ongoing restrictions of COVID-19. Competing in any sport at this level requires a unique strength and determination – something which the LCpl displays in abundance, putting in hours of solitary training, where he has had to use his mental resilience to push himself further than most would. ...
