Today we mark Cambrai Day, a moment of pride and remembrance for The Royal Tank Regiment and everyone who has served in armour.

On this day in 1917, history changed. The Battle of Cambrai became the first major offensive that proved what armour could do on the battlefield. It showed courage, innovation and the determination that still defines the Tankies today.

To all who have served in the RTR, past and present, thank you for carrying that legacy forward with honour.

Fear Naught.

Tuesday Muster done and what a morning.

A new face joined us today, straight off the back of the incredible momentum from Saturday’s Celebration of Remembrance Ball. The banter was flowing, the brews were hot, and yes… we definitely replayed the ball video.

And the highlight?
Reliving Andy’s dance moves to Let Me Entertain You.
If you know, you know.

It’s mornings like this that show exactly what this community is about, connection, laughter, support and a place where veterans can walk in and feel at home.

If you’re a veteran or family member wanting to get involved, come down next Tuesday, 10am–12pm at Fairlands Valley Lakes.

You’re always welcome.

Stevenage Sea Cadets & Royal Marines Cadets getting the recognition they deserve.

We're so proud of the Stevenage Sea Cadets and Royal Marine Cadets! They teamed up with local veterans for an inspiring three-day Guard of Honour at the Stevenage War Memorial. Braving all kinds of weather, they kept a constant vigil alongside the community, showing real dedication and learning what remembrance means from those who’ve served. Truly heartwarming!

The Muster Point Celebration of Remembrance Ball — we are ready.
Tonight, veterans, families, supporters and friends come together for a night of honour, reflection and unity.

The room is set. The tables are dressed. The atmosphere is building.
After a week that saw a three-day Guard of Honour in Stevenage and two mentions in Parliament, we end it by bringing our community together under one roof.

A night to remember the fallen.
A night to celebrate the living.
A night to support those still fighting quiet battles.

See you on the dance floor.
Let’s make this one unforgettable.

What a week for The Muster Point.

We delivered a three-day Guard of Honour at the Stevenage Old Town War Memorial, veterans, Sea Cadets and Royal Marine Cadets united in service, remembrance and community spirit. The turnout and support from Stevenage were incredible 🇬🇧

This week we were mentioned in Parliament twice, with MPs highlighting our work on veteran data, employment, housing and community support. National recognition for a grassroots veteran hub built by veterans, for veterans 💪

And tomorrow, we wrap up the week with the Celebration of Remembrance Ball, a night to honour service, remember the fallen, and support those still fighting their battles. Over 200 guests. One mission. ❤️

A huge week.
Three major milestones.
One movement that’s only getting stronger.

See you on the dance floor. 🎟️✨

🚨 The Muster Point mentioned in the House of Commons for the second time in two days, this time during Prime Minister’s Questions! 🇬🇧

To hear The Muster Point recognised again on the national stage is huge, it shows that the work being done right here in Stevenage for our veteran community is being noticed at the very top.

Our message is simple: grassroots, veteran-led support works. When veterans look after veterans, real change happens.

🎥 Check out the clip below, another proud moment for everyone who’s been part of The Muster Point journey.
