Our membership is in excess of ninety and still growing. Close on seventy husbands and wives sat down to dinner at our sixth Annual Reunion weekend held at the Monkbar Hotel, York in August last year. We were honoured by the presence at the Saturday night dinner of Colonel The Honourable Nick Crossley OBE TD DL and Colonel Mike ffWoodhead OBE and Mrs Woodhead. Both these officers have given us tremendous support over the past twelve months for which we thank them. I also welcome to our ranks Captain Eric Broadhurst and Major Brian Gatensbury, Sid West, Peter Hamer, Ted Sykes, Pat Morgan, Ralph Strickland, ]oe] Mulvihill, Bob Inglis and from Louisiana USA ]ames Brown, all from the Regiment. I mustn’t forget the Band, Allan Clarke, a Yorkshireman and former clar- inet player joined us in time for the last reunion. A fresh supply of ties have been ordered to cover the new intake and Geoff Bridge has obtained another 20 lapel badges to make sure the new recruits are not improperly dressed. Thanks Geoff. The most important event to take place over the past twelve months has been the tracing of our Bandmaster’s grave in a churchyard near Wareham in Dorset. Warrant Officer HB Clarke is no longer “missing” but due to the efforts of our col- league, Dennis Williams, he now has a known grave where we can pay our respects to him if we are in the area. Furthermore, Pat Morgan who lives in nearby Bournemouth has volunteered to tend the grave and keep it in good i order. ~14" _" 4.1 “3333‘ Lmzqu, .lANi '9“ $59 I recently wrote to Major Moule inviting him to our next Reunion 7 however like all of us he is not as young as he was and had to reluctantly decline the invitation. However, we have placed the Major on our mailing list for our v. newsletter, The Lancer to keep him up to date with our goings on. The past year although very much a success in a lot ofways was not without it’s downside 7 we lost Terry Thorn, only weeks after the August Reunion, a former Band President Brigadier The Lord Grimthorpe died and Colonel Twickel died in tragic circumstances - on behalf of all our members I send sincere con- dolences to the respective families and, in the case of Colonel Twickel, our sympathy is also extended to his working col- leagues at Home Headquarters. Finally, ifany former 9th Lancer wishes to join us please contact me on 0161 764 0186 or email wd.haydock@ta1k21.com Regards, Wm Denis Haydock |
