Inevitably therefore they are the centres where SSAFA is most needed but where potential volunteers are harder to find. SSAFA representatives must be genuinely caring people, full of commonsense and willing to learn. Obviously, experience in the Services, either as an Officer or senior NCO, or as the wife, widow or husband of either, is valuable. Training is provided, both in the field with an experienced worker and also at a SSAFA Induction Course either at Head Office in London or in the appropriate County. Expenses are paid and all necessary literature and stationery are provided. Offers will be welcomed directly at the local County Office of SSAFA or may be sent to SSAFA Head Office, 27 Queen Anne's Gate, London SW1H 9BZ.

Of eleven thousand four hundred and forty eight financial grants amounting to £456,737 made to Army families, some nine thousand two hundred and fifty eight representing £415,511 were disbursed on behalf of the Regimental and Corps benevolent funds. Those figures prove beyond doubt the practical efficiency of the good working partnership between SSAFA and the Regi- mental funds. SSAFA is not primarily a grant-making organisation. Its role is to provide a service to the families of Serving and ex- Service men and women, to Commanding Officers and to the Regimental and Corps benevolent funds, all of whom use the SSAFA nationwide network of voluntary workers to visit and report on their family cases and distribute their generosity. To do this SSAFA must continue to recruit new voluntary workers to replace the many dedicated people now retiring after many years of valuable work. The need is greatest in the TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP MEETING THE Championship and Spring Meeting will be played on Tuesday, 20th May 1980 at: Blackmoor Golf Club, Whitehills, Bordon, Hants. Serving Officers and Soldiers and members of the RAOC Golfing Society are eligible to compete. Entry forms will be distributed to Units and Society mem- bers and are also available from: Major H. F. Warren, Honor- ary Secretary RAOC GS, School of Ordnance, Deepcut, Cam- berley, Surrey. WE REGAIN PALESTINE CUP AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS RAOC 4 POINTS REME NIL ON a wet and windswept afternoon at the Petroleum Centre West Moors the Corps Rugby XV carried off the Palestine Cup. With total forward domination they gave REME no respite and the single unconverted try, scored in the second half by Corporal Balding of Longtown, was sufficient to carry the game.
