Ah well, here we go again, A talk on the drug problem in Hong Kong took place in the Unit cinema recently. It wasn't supposed to be funny but, with the lecturer getting lost in Kowloon, then dropping his slides, an otherwise dull morning became hilarious, but the message got across. Congratulations are in order for our footballers who, despite stiff opposition, and many enforced absences (get orf), have emerged champions of the British Forces Hong Kong Minor Units League Division One. Our congratulations to Head- quarters British Forces on winning Division Two. Our Second Eleven's gift of two points must have helped. THE DEPOT FOOTBALL TEAM • • • ASSOCIATION • NEWS Shropshire Branch Standing: Conductor Penman, Lance Corporal White, SQMS Dudley, SQMS Campbell, Captain Nunn, Sergeant Vale, Lance Corporal Li CC, SQMS Kennedy, Lieutenant Colonel Weather- burn, Kneeling; SQMS Sowerby, Lance Corporal Spencer, Corporal Keogh, W O l Stoddard, Private Ho C M , Lance Corporal Lee and Corporal Smith. The Hong Kong branch of the RAOC Association held their AGM in the Junior Ranks Club. We were pleased to see so many of our members from Hong Kong side, Our first Unit annual orienteering championship was a great success, however, one wonders if the entries would have been as numerous had it been a weekend. CSM Dunn is looking forward to our annual training camp. With an allocation of two hundred rounds for the Unit we are considering asking a local clothing shop for royalties, A squad rushing around shouting 'Bang Bang' must be good advertising! CONGRATULATIONS to all concerned with the organisation of the Annual Weekend at Kineton and we trust that Major Frank Smith is now back to normal after his strenuous efforts to ensure all was well. Our twenty seven members who attended, all enjoyed them- selves immensely especially the renewing 1 of old, old friend- ships. The question " D o you remember * was heard on all sides. One of our members had an especially memorable even- ing on the Saturday—Major Eddie Jennings. Having been presented with the Small Bore Trophy once again on behalf of the Branch, a bouquet of flowers being presented to his wife, Chris, he then produced the winning ticket for the £10 Premium Bond. (In fairness to Eddie I must stress he does not write the Shropshire newsletters]). It was nice to see that despite a 4 Civilian ' posting to Celle in BAOR, ex Conductor Alan Cleasby was still to the fore at Kineton having made the journey specifically to keep up his perfect attendance at the Annual Weekends (as has the writer of this!). Well done Alan! 30 — |
