Brunei Garrison AS our usual scribe, Staff Sergeant Graham Manders, has his hands quite full this month he is taking a well earned rest, or is he? Apart from being NCO i/c Stores Section, Cub Scout Leader and rugby player, he has also been acting Garrison Chief Clerk for the past few weeks and has now joined the Garrison Camera Club! Highlight this month was the excellent dining out of Sergeant Alan and Mrs Edna Owen, in the form of a Regimental Dinner with wives attending. Interspersed with the efforts of W02 Chris Hadfield and his (hmm!) instant camera and followed by music for dancing, an enjoyable time was had by all. The following week Edna and Alan retaliated with a party in the Garrison Mess which was duly swallowed by everyone attending. The Garrison Camera Club is now gathering momentum and members. Ably chaired by Major Cartin, our Garrison Engineer, the club meets twice monthly with talks and demon- strations by other members. First activity of the New Year was a slide competition and the following meeting by the demon- stration of black and white developing and contact printing. Most recently an outing was organised to the State Capital and members spent an exhausting day capturing things in general on black and white and colour. Although members arc not up to colour developing yet, it is hoped that everyone will process their own black and white over the next few meetings. (What about some of the results for Tire GAZETTE black and white please! Editor). Last meeting of the Cub Scouts, saw their happy band trundling off over the Belait River on the local ferry. But no report or photos yet, of the cubs in action! The results of the RAOC Inspecting Officers visit, in Novem- ber last year have been received and to all intents and purposes we all did very well and proved that a very satisfactory service is being given to our dependent Units. Well done everybody in- cluding our ardent rugby player who happened to be on tour at the time! Welcome to Corporal Rod and Mrs June Shaw, hoping you will enjoy your time in Brunei.
