SEEN AT THE BAOR OFFICERS CLUB DINNER ROYAL VISIT COMMEMORATIVE PIECES THE visit by Her Majesty The Queen to Her Corps at Bicester on the 16th May 1978, marks the Silver Jubilee of Her Majesty's Coloneley-in-Chie£ and the Diamond Jubilee of the grant to the Corps of the title Royal. To commemorate these events two pieces of Caith- ness Glass have been commissioned. The first will take the form of a limited edition of a high quality, mouth blown, hand finished and polished, bowl which will be hand decorated by craftsmen to represent the two anniversaries; the bowl is similar in basic form to the ' Mastermind * bowl presented annually to the winner of the BBC, TV, ' Mastermind * competition. The second piece will be a more general issue of an eight inch diameter fruit bowl in either Amethyst or Clear Glass which will also be decorated to represent the two anniversaries. Full details together with photographs, will be published in the next edition of THE GAZETTE. Mr A . A. Humphries CFA, Mr B. Roberts PSA, Colonel E, R, Edwards, Colonel R. K. Kelsey and Colonel H. G.
