Our role is to:
....foster and maintain harmonious relations between the staff at Sandringham and local tradesmen and women.
.... unite in one local body, the Royal Warrant holding firms, and in so doing  provide an opportunity for Warrant Holders to meet each other socially.
.... act as a ‘watchdog’ for infringements of ‘The Lord Chamberlain’s Rules’ to be observed by Royal Warrant Holders in local press advertisements and local press and radio features, articles, and programmes.

 We also assist the parent Association in the conduct of the affairs connected with the Royal Warrant by acting as a focal point for local Warrant Holders to obtain advice, filtering problems and solving local issues connected with the use of the Royal Warrant, wherever possible.
