staff who acted as recorders and from the WRAC personnel of 16 Battalion RAOC who in their task as assistant marshall did very well. Teams and individuals entered from Bicester, Donnington and Kineton, and it was interesting to compare the different operating techniques. What was apparent was the high standard of operating which was displayed throughout the day. Team Winners in Class B were presented with the Hyster Team Cup and each member received a wall plate depicting the first Hyster manufactured, courtesy of Hyster Europe Ltd. The Individual Winner in Class B was presented with the Hyster Individual Cup and a pair of Crystal Glasses again courtesy of Hyster Europe Ltd.

The JUNIOR SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS IN a very closely swum contest in the Army Minor Unit Swimming Championships held recently in Bramcote, Warwick- shire, the RAOC Apprentices College swimming team emerged victorious over the Junior Parachute Company and the RAMC Apprentices College to take the title for the second successive year. Swimming in the College had not been one of the unit's fortes since the late 1960's and early 1970's when the Army squad frequently boasted an RAOC cap badge in its ranks, but with the arrival of QMSI Ted Martin APTC in the College just over fifteen months ago things changed. The College team, strengthened a little by three members of the Permanent Staff, went on to become runners-up to the RAOC Depot in the Corps Championships. A special mention must go to Apprentice Private Fuller who is rapidly proving to be one of the most outstanding sportsmen in the College. Apprentice Private Fuller, apart from being an outstanding runner went on to win four Army Junior Individual titles, was selected to swim for the Junior Army in the Junior Inter Services and was a member of the Army Junior Water Polo team that won the Inter Services Championships. He is an above-average team games player and even has time to be a member of the Corps of Drums—well done A/Private Fuller!
