REGIMENTAL JOURNAL OF THE 9TH/12TH ROYAL LANCERS (PRINCE OF WALES’S) 35 The W/nn/ng Team L to Fl Pte Beaumont, Sgt C/ark, Cp/ Ba/dW/n, LCp/ Craft and Pte Sm/th Earlier in the year Sgt “Tony Muscles ” led a team of super fit chefs to a Superstars competition held by lRRF in Celle, this was a Brigade chefs competition to boost morale, I’m sure what they went through did nothing for their morale. The events they had arranged for the teams were as follows, rowing, press ups, sit ups, bench press, an indoor assault course and finishing with a log race. With absolutely no training whatsoever (unlike all the other units) the 9/12 Lancers team came home with the winning trophy, Pte “Gaz” Beaumont won the Best Male trophy and Sgt “Muscles” Clark won the Runner Up Best Male. So all in all not a bad days work at the office, I’d like to say it was all down to the PT that we do, but we hadn’t really started it then, but well done anyway to all the chefs who took part. We have had only two chefs depart our Troop this year, first to go was Pte “Gaz” Beaumont. We all knew his first love was not cooking but fitness, despite this he was a valuable member of the team who could always be relied on, he is now living his dream as a fitness trainer and masseur to an all female dance group on a cruise ship travelling round the Caribbean. Don’t think he’ll ever see this but good luck to him all the same. Next to go was Cpl John Grover, who after deploying with B Sqn to Bosnia, posted to Osnabruck with l DWR. We have had a few new arrivals to the troop this year, first to arrive was Cpl Mark Hillier who arrived from 23 Pioneer Regiment in the UK. Next to touch down in Hohne was Cpl Danny Kay who arrived from Northern Ireland on promotion, well done on your promotion, perhaps you can learn to ride a motorbike now. Also congratu- lation on his recent marriage to Jasmin. Next into the fold was Cpl Al Pierce and his family, congratulations on the arrival of yourbaby daughter Elise, that’s 4 kids now Al, time to buy a TV set. Next to join the Regiment with his two brothers was Pte “Sal” Salih who arrived from Paderborn and was straight into OP TELIC training. We also had LCpl “Emma” Allen, who arrived from the UK. Last but not least is Pte Tora who is join- ing us in November this year straight from the factory, welcome and we hope you enjoy your stay with the Troop. Congratulations to Pte “Steve” Cassidy and his wife Cara on the birth of their daughter Crystal. September saw the start of Op TELIC training for A and C Sqn, this also included their chefs. A lot of hard work, late nights and extra time away was completed and a great deal of experi- ence was gained that will stand them in good stead for future military course’s that we have to undertake in the RLC. There have been many, many functions this year, far to many to men- tion, the biggest event this year was Mons Moy weekend in July which proved to be a great but very tiring success for the Catering Department especially as it was the first one for all the chefs involved, role on next year when we really will be ready for it, hopefully. As I write this we are preparing for our busiest time of year, the dreaded Christmas function time, also slung in the middle of this very busy time is our LSI, so even more work to do, no rest for the wicked in the Catering Department, lets hope everything goes well and we get a good report, should do after all the work we put in. Whatever happens, the Catering Department of the Regiment will strive to ensure that where ever, when ever the Regiment will always get the best service we can provide, after all our motto is “We Sustain”.
