Bullock made a donation in memory of the late Brigadier J. C. Waycott, A legacy of £1,000 was left to the Aid Society in the will of the late Major H. C. S. Chilman RAOC; The sum of £2.524 does not include the personal sub- scriptions of serving and retired officers and soldiers. The Committee also wish to announce that during the first half of 1981 grants totalling £21,227 were made to two hundred and forty nine applicants who were considered to be in need of financial assistance. A few examples, of those helped, in summary are; — An Ex Private suffered a burglary to his home whilst he was away. Many items were stolen and the house interior wrecked. The resultant worry caused him to be hospitalised for some while with a long period of convalescence. Help was needed to replace stolen household goods and personaJ clothing. The Aid Society made a grant towards these needs. A Serving Soldier was in need of financial help to enable his invalid child to receive special tuition. The cost was too great for him to meet in full. The Aid Society made a grant to make up the difference. The eighty year old widow of an ex PrivaXe, who is suffering from arthritis and asthma, had been offered a place in a residen- tial old peoples home. She was able to pay slightly over fifty per cent of the annual cost from her pensions but needed help for the balance. The Aid Society in conjunction with the Army benevolent Fund and the Duke of Wellington's Regimental \ssociation agreed to make up the difference. An ex Lance Corporal died suddenly following an operation leaving a widow and six children, several of whom were mentally retarded. Family debts including the cost of the funeral were high and there was no way in which the widow could clear them. J . C . JullilTe . .. Central Ordnance Depot Bicester S. A. Puckrin .

CORPS HOCKEY TRIALS THE trials will be held at Blackdown on Wednesday 23rd September 1981 starting at 1L00 hours. Personnel interested in being selected to play for the Corps team should attend the trials in order that the best represented side can be selected for next season. Experience has shown that a pool of about twenty players is necessary in order to raise a team of sufficient- standard to do well against other Corps. Players attending the trials should bring their own stick, footwear, socks, shorts and both a white and a coloured shirt. Goal keepers should bring their own protective clothing and equipment. All players wishing to attend should either give their name to their unit hockey officer, who has been sent a proforma to return to the secretary, or they should contact the secretary, Captain Richard Eccles at the RAOC Apprentices College on Blackdown Military Ext 833.
