Hilton isn'£ losing any sleep as yet. we are assured of the Club's success. We are happy to be able to congratulate several of our gladiators for the award of Combined Hong Kong Sports Colours, given by the British Forces Sports Board for the season 1976— 1977:—Golf Colours: Major P. E* J. Shaw, W02 T. Eves; Rugby Colours: Captain K. N. Collins, W02 K. Allcock, Corporal K. Holt. We bid farewell to Captain R, F. Mendham of the Am- munition Sub-Depot, W02 T. Eves. W02 P. Sowerby, Staff Sergeant C. Mears, Staff Sergeant K. Cronin, Corporal C. N. Stanton, Corporal C, Thomson and Lance Corporal S. Clorley. Welcome to Staff Sergeant Lamb, Sergeant Henson and Lance Corporal Fleck. RAOC Assurance Association 18 Chequers Square, Uxbridge, Middlesex Tel. (STD 0895) 53444 SPSD THE Depot looks very bright and clean after a face lift by PWD and a few dashes of red paint from our fire NCO who paints anything which stands still long enough. The continuing saga of the Unit boat—rumour has it that it is being steered to an early launching by a Technical Clerk turned mechanic, In the Families Swimming Gala held recently, the SPSD once again came out on top in the families race with Corporal Trevor Asquith and his wife and eldest son. Other successes were in the Campbell and Timms family (offspring that is). 2 $ Discount — special scheme Motor Insurance. Available to all Corps members. Life Assurance — protection for your family or saving for the future. House Purchase — buying now or in the future. Which Building Society to choose and how much to save. Preferential Interest rates available to regular savers. REGULAR EMPLOYMENT Corporal and Mrs Asquith with son, winners of the families race. The Unit fitness sessions are beginning to take their toll. As more personnel pass the new BFT there are less people for the Officer Commanding to follow. To add to our physical ability we now have a basketball court furnished by Corporal Mick (PWD) Miller. The patent is on sale at a modest price. On the 28th August we held a families lunch in the SPSD. This consisted of fun and games for the children and a Bar-b-q lunch prepared by chefs Timms and Avellano. A rumour going around at the moment is that next time Staff Sergeant Manny Avellano Bar-b-q's in his quarter we are all invited. We say farewell to Mr Brian Smith our once resident Analyst, and his family. His replacement is Mr Dave Jenkinson a singly who says he wishes to stay that way and enjoy the delights of Hong Kong.

If so, contact your local office of the RFEA. Branch address and telephone numbers can be obtained from Resettlement Officers and Regimental Associa- tions—or from Post Offices, Employment Offices, or local tele- phone directories, WHY NOT THE WRITE FOR GAZETTE ? THE EDITOR welcomes new contributors, it is your Journal so why not contribute to it? Articles on any subject will be welcomed; sport, adventure, work, experience, humour, fictions-even fantasy. While articles of any length will be considered, the ideal is in the region of 2,000 words. Scripts should be double-spaced type written, though manuscript will be accepted. Pictures should preferably, be black and white but colour prints will do—some slight loss of quality occurs. A reasonable level of controversy is the life-blood of any Journal—it promotes thought and discussion. Security however, is always a consideration and, though the ultimate responsibility rests with the Editor, it should be borne in mind when touching upon possible sensitive subjects. As THE GAZETTE is principally a magazine the purely technical article should be avoided, though no hard and fast boundary exists. Why not use THE GAZETTE if you have previously written for publication, why not try your hand if you have not. 198 — |
