UNIQUE DOUBLE BY BLACKLDO-SVN A unique double has been achieved this year by the Blackdown Theatre Club, they entered two plays in the 1983 Army Drama Festival and came first and second (equal). The winning play, ' Habeas Corpus' by Alan Bennett, was produced by Lieutenant Colonel Ian Gane, whilst Lieutenant Colonel Ian Bradley pro- duced Ronald Harwood's 'The Dresser,' which was the runner up. In each case the Adjudicator, Brigadier Peter Dietz (Retd), congratulated the actors on their enthusiasm and professionalism and the obvious enjoyment they gave to the large audiences. The Commander Supply Cyprus, Lieutenant Colonel David Elliott, presenting a Technical Suggestion Scheme Certificate George Kassapis of Symikismos Vresoules. to Mr of Larnaca and Mr George Kassapis of Symikismos Vresoules were considered by the local Committee, chaired by Lieutenant Colonel David Elliott, Commander Supply and awards of £75 and £50 respectively were made. The Committee then forwarded the suggestions to UK where, if accepted, there is a possibility of greater reward. In acknowledgement of their success and to encourage greater participation a certificate was designed and printed by RAOC Cyprus. ' Habeas Corpus.' Lieutenant Colonel Ian Bradley caught in ' Flagrante Delicto ' with Miss Jane Ellis by W 2 Alan Sandford. The Army Drama Festival salver will be presented to the Blackdown Club by Brigadier D. E. Ryan, Commander Education UK. on the 22nd October in the Tela Theatre, at the end of the club's autumn production. It is hoped that this will be before a audience including the DGOS and the Mayor of Surrey Heath. The other second equal was the Harp Players, NI, Production of 'All for Mary ' in which the leading light was, Lieutenant Colonel Mike Willis. You can't keep RAOC out of the act! M E E T I N G IN BERLIN THE BFG Accommodation Services Convention 1983 was held in Berlin and was attended this year, for the first time, by full representation from Headquarters RAF (G) and RAF units in Germany. The format of the Convention allowed those more daring officers to take part in a trip (organised) to East Berlin during the late afternoon. Our photograph shows the Commander Supply BAOR, Brigadier Alway, with officers attending the Convention. Major Reg Granger, who master-minded the Convention is in the back row, second from right.

THE purpose of the MOD Suggestion Scheme is to foster the cooperation of civilian and service personnel in the drive for efficiency and economy and to encourage them by monetary awards to submit suggestions. This is exactly what two of the locally employed civilians of the Dhekelia Detachment, Accommodation Services Unit, Cyprus did. The technical suggestions by Mr Nicos Antoniou — FALKLANDS AWARD MAJOR D. M. MACKAY of LE(A) Andover has been awarded the Commander British Forces Falkland Islands Commendation. Our sincere congratulations. 1 |
