Members Bulletin, June 2016

Dear All

MEMBERS BULLETIN, JUNE 2016

A number of you are probably aware by now that Major Simon Fraser is retiring as General Secretary in the autumn of this year after 24 years of outstanding service to CCRS. This means that this year’s AGM on Saturday, 16th July, details of which are set out below, will be his last. I hope that as many of you as possible will attend the Barbecue, to say a fitting farewell to him and to thank him for all that he has done for the Athelings and the Association during his time at Derby Lodge.

Details of his successor are not yet available, and will be included in the November Bulletin.

A very warm welcome to all new members of the Association, and in particular the 2015 Athelings. We hope that the Association will enable you to keep in contact with not only your own former team members but also all the community of ex-Athelings going back over the last 60 years. However, there are still over 400 former Athelings out there somewhere whom we have been unable to trace so far. If you meet or know any of them please ask them to get in touch.

Athelings Summer Functions

The details of this year’s functions, to be held on Saturday 16th July, are:

  • The Barbecue will be held at Derby Lodge, starting at 7.30. With the kind agreement of this year's Commandant our chefs will be the 2016 Athelings. For the 17th year we are keeping the price of tickets at £5 per head for members and their guests.

Tickets can be booked using the attached form, and will be available for collection from the Derby Lodge bar on the day. As always, early booking and payment would be appreciated so that we know how many to cater for.

  • The Colin GraftonMatch, formerly the Athelings Association Match,will be on the Saturday afternoon, concurrent with the Daily Telegraph. Claim Cards should be collected from Derby Lodge before the match and returned to the box on the front wall as soon as possible afterwards. The prize-giving will take place that evening during the AGM.
  • The (very brief) AGM will be held during the evening, along with the prize-giving. Anyone wishing to place items on the AGM agenda should please let me know in advance through CCRS.

2016 Athelings

This year the team will be led by Maj Julia Adamson (Dollar Academy), with

Fg Off HJ Golaszewski (1344 (Cardiff) Sqn ATC) as Adjutant and Capt Alwyn McLean (AR) as Armourer. As always, we wish them every success, both in Canada and in the Rex Goddard 'Home' leg before departure.

The 2016 team list is enclosed - please look out for their shoulder-flashes around the Common this summer and give them your congratulations.

I look forward to meeting you during the summer.

With all good wishes

Nigel Suffield-Jones
