AN appeal has been launched to find a new home for Bury's Lancashire Fusiliers.
Falling membership and spiralling running costs of the Lancashire Fusiliers Association Club at Wellington Barracks has triggered the search by ex-LF Michael Rae.
Mr Rae, of Battersby Street, Bury, said the new facility must meet certain criteria.
This includes parking for at least 50 cars and the venue should be big enough to accommodate 150 people for five regimental functions a year.
He added: "Finally, it should be prepared to change its name to the Lancashire Fusilier. With no disrespect to the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers we would like to retain the LFs sense of identity.
"Ideally, we would want a pub or a club to dedicate a room for our use, to provide somewhere for ex-Lancashire Fusiliers to go and have a chat."
Anyone interested in helping Bury's Lancashire Fusiliers find a new home is asked to contact Mr Rae on 0161 764 7659.
