OLDIES BUT GOLDIES !
On the 3rd and 4th April, 2025 at the Westerwood Hotel, Cumbernauld, the Retired Police Officers Association (RPOAS) held their 78th Annual conference.
Whilst maybe retired, these men and women are certainly not sitting about doing nothing and regularly meet and get involved to look after the interests of retired Police officers and their families. They also do a lot behind the scenes supporting and promoting the various Police Charities for which we are very grateful.
During the meal at the conference, the members held a raffle to raise funds to donate to their chosen charities. On this occasion, the members chose to donate the funds equally between ourselves and COPS (Care of Police Survivors). Over £700 was raised which is a fantastic amount and the SPBF subsequently received a donation of £385 from the RPOAS.
We would like to that the opportunity to thank all the members of RPOAS for their kind donation, especially those at the conference who made it possible. This money will be put to good use supporting our Officers and Support Staff, past and present who are or were members of the SPBF. Thank you!
The SPBF were in attendance at the conference with our intrepid duo, Ricky Wood (Secretary) & John Turley (Eastern Area Trustee) acting on our behalf. Any similarities and suggestions that they were mistaken for Jack & Victor are entirely without foundation……;) But as ever they were there with a smile and goodies to give out and a good time was had by all. If you are at an event or conference and see our stall, then please come over and say hello! They don’t bite we promise!! and you may get some nice goodies to take away with you.
