Arthur Hawley, T o m Newby and Roy Feltham lunch in good time. returned Sergeant John Blake and Corporal Joe McDonough, assisted by Mrs Linda Sisson, organised a very successful badminton tournament for DSM(A) personnel. Those who took pan en- joyed themselves and planning for the next tournament, in December, is in hand. The winners of the Tournament were presented with their trophies by Colonel Warren. Captain Collett has at long last ventured north of the border, visiting firms in Scotland. He took Corporal Alex Matthews with him, to act as an interpreter. The SOI Provision reports that, following co-operation from PSA, the re-furbishment of the ladies facilities within Buildings 155/156 is finished, and he is able to report the completion of the Branch 1980/81 objectives and those of many of his predecessors.

The AAC as usual came up trumps and provided a door to door helicopter service which en- abled the report to be made within a matter of hours. We know that D Sup Ops(A) is the hot seat but we hope Brigadier Gerry will find that it cools down as he gets used to it. To return to the farewell for Brigadier Peter, the show had to go on so we lunched him out as planned and presented him with a shield mounted with two Argentinian bayonets. He was then sent home in a Fox Armoured Car, provided by Vehicle Depot Ludgershall as shown on the previous page.
