THE chair of the Royal British Legion's New Addington branch is appealing against a head office decision to uphold a complaint against him.
Michael Lyons was suspended from his post in June while the Legion investigated a complaint that he "may have inappropriately used Legion funds and may have brought the Legion into disrepute".
The 79-year-old said the panel that met in mid-December has upheld the complaint, but he has challenged the decision in line with procedure.
He maintains he has done nothing wrong and is waiting to hear whether the RBL will grant him an appeal. He risks a longer-term suspension from club activities if his appeal fails.
A spokesman for RBL said she could not comment until the process was finished.
