Help for Heroes bow tie and mess kit
Any feelings on whether we should be wearing the Help for Heroes bow tie and cummerbund instead of unit/ Sqn sets at functions?
Cummerbund is very smart and ideal for 'black tie' functions which demand strict adherence to their neo-apartheid 'Black Only' rules.....

When I was CMC I certainly allowed Sqn cummerbunds but drew the line at bow-ties regulation black only much to the cost (bottle of port fine) for some folks. I think it depends on the CMC's interpretation of the rules!!!!

Why the need to wear a "Help For Heroes" cummerbund etc with Mess Kit? One would expect that little publicity is needed for the charioty within the Mess unless the wearer wishes to make a self indulgent statement of course. I'd keep it for black tie with DJ functions - or, as has already been stated, donate the cost directly to the charity.
