THE ”NINTH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL i- Old Comrades’ Association View from the WOs & Sgt: Moss Wolfenbuttell 1958, After the well supported visit to the Regiment for the Mons/Moy cele- bration in June 1984. the OCA programme followed its usual course with the Canterbury Memorial Service plus luncheon and the Recruiting Area Dinner. Both events were well attended and enjoyed by those members who were present. lt was good to see so many old Comrades at the Ceremony of Planting the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey in November, The Committee had hoped originally to repeat the Windsor Luncheon and Reunion held at Camber-mere Barracks in l983 but. a change of Regiment at that location made this impossiblet Instead it was decided to hold the Reunion lunch on l7th November at the Duke of York‘s Headquarters Club in London. This proved a fortunate move as the HQ Club is obviously popular with members. Over 80 people attended; although more expensive than the catering at the WOs' i! NCOs' Mess at Combermere. the lunch still represented extremely good value and the service was excellent. Altogether a very enjoyable occasion which the Committee has decided to repeat at the same location in 1985. Your Committee meet regularly at the Knightsbridge Barracks by courtesy of the Household Cavalry Regiment. We are grateful for their kindness and hospitality, especially as a major banack defect has resulted in the forced move of the W05' 81 NCOs' Mess to another part of the barracks, with all the extra work and incovenience that that involves. The l985 Annual General Meeting and Dinner was held at the Officers' Mess of Inns of Court Regiment. Again. we had an excellent meal and capacity altendance. This popular venue has been booked again for the 1986 eventt At the AGM it was The same View I984, recorded that the Association Account is still in a healthy condition; despite a major donation made to the Regimental Band full dress fund. Major Collins, Mr Mawer and Mr Branton were due to retire from the Committee by rotation; Major Collins and Mr Mawer were reelected. Mr Branton indicated that he did not wish to stand for re- election; Captam Scholte was elected to fill the vacancy left by his retirement. The Commiltee had bound Volume VI of the Regimental Journal. covering the period l98l to I984. for praentation to the Regiment; thus ensuring that the Regiment owns a complete and up to dale set of bound Journals. The Volume was presented to the Com- manding Officer by the Colonel of the Regiment after Dinner. The Mom/Moy celebrations were held in July, a record number of Old Comrades (approximately 120) travel- ling out to Wolfenbuttel. The Corn» manding Officer had kindly agreed to |
