Royal Army Ordnance Corps Association ASSOCIATION NEWS Annual Sub scrip Hon .. Patron Her Majesty The Queen President The Representative Colonel Commandant, RAOC Headquarters RAOC Secretariat, Deepcut, Camberley, Surrey. Deepcut 5001 (Ext. 105) HQ Members, 2/6; Branches (max.), 5/- Life Membership Fee ... £3 3s. Qd. Headquarters ARRANGEMENTS are now completed for the annual dinner at the Victory ex-Services Club, London, on 26th April, and provision has been made for a record attendance. All we now require is for members to apply for their tickets in good time, Although all branch annual reports have not yet been received at the time of going to press, there is every indication that the recruiting drive for serving members is having good effect. In particular we are pleased to welcome a number of senior ranks who have become Life members. It *is with regret that we have to report the closure of the Huddersfield Branch. The branch has struggled to remain active but with no regular RAOC unit, and with the reduction of the TA in the area, they have had no source from which to enrol new members. The following Branch changes are announced: BELGIUM BRANCH Hon. Secretary: for Capt R. I. Phillips read Major R. I. Phillips. BERLIN BRANCH Hon. Secretary: Sgt B. M. Bennett, Ord Services Berlin, BFPO 45. BIELEFELD BRANCH Hon. Treasurer: Lt K. F. O'Kelly vice Capt T. C. W, Profitt. CATTERICK BRANCH Chairman: Lt-Colonel L G- Jarvis, vice Lt-Colonel J. C. Atherton. Hon. Secretary: Change of Address: Major A, J. Mac- Donald, Ord Branch. HQ Northumbrian District, Scotton Road, Catterick Camp, Yorks. CHEPSTOW BRANCH Chairman: Capt B. Allen, vice Capt M. A. Pike. Vice Chairman: SSM J. C. P. Salby, vice SSM P. E, S. Gurney. CENTRAL MALAYSIAN BRANCH Hon. Secretary: Capt S. G, de Wolf, HQ 28 Comwel Inf Bde, Terendak Camp, c/o GPO Malacca, Malaysia, vice Capt V. E. Sims, YORK BRANCH Hon. Secretary: Major R. E, Harris, Northern Command Ord Depot, Fulford Barracks, York, j* R Central London Branch DUE to unforseen circumstances, the Branch Annual General Meeting had to be delayed until February, so news of this meeting will necessarily have to be deferred until next month. In the meantime we are glad to record that two members of the Branch have taken advantage of the new Service Life Membership scheme open to all serving Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Soldiers. We have a feeling that, as and when the scheme is more widely known, we shall receive further applications. The cost is £2 only and Service Life Membership includes a free Corps tie and Association lapel badge. The Honorary Secretary will be glad to give details to any serving RAOC soldier, in the London area. The Branch committee have devised a fairly full and in- teresting programme for 1969 and the details will be notified as soon as the AGM has been held. A T u A . J. o . Birmingham Branch A PARTY from the Branch is to pay a visit to a pantomime at the Birmingham Alexandra Theatre,—a theatre controlled by Major D. Salberg, President of the Federation of Birming- ham Ex-Service Associations. The Branch twenty-first annual dinner is to be held at the Co-operative Restaurant. Birmingham, on 7th November. Donningron Branch SINCE re-activation of the Branch in May 1968, as reported in our last letter, the attendance at monthly meetings has been maintained and we can now count upon some thirty members turning up at the Coddon Club on the fourth Thursday of each month. At our January meeting we had the pleasure of the com- pany of the President, Brigadier N. Barclay, who is also Com- mandant of the COD. It was an evening of games during the course of which some members learned new games and Conductor Cranney won the darts tournament. We gather, however, that Sergeant Kitwood, who is on the Branch com- mittee. can claim a moral victory in this. By the time the next meeting comes round he will be a proud father. Our social activities sub-committee. Captain J. Houseman, A. D. Evans, SQMS Sinclair and Ken Plant are making arrange- ments for a ladies night in February and the Branch dinner in March, at which we hope to see members of the Birming- ham and Shrewsbury Branches.
