The opening burst was an All Ranks BBQ in the Corps Memorial Park at Bandiana, which was well attended by many of the visitors, but largely local RAEME personnel. The Officer’s Dinner on the Thursday night and the Senior Ranks Dinner on the Friday Night followed this. My memory is a little blurred, about the activities, but I do recall a genuinely happy and celebratory spirit at all functions and some ‘stayers’ still celebrating on the Saturday morning as I caught my ride home. We still have many in the Corps with endurance! On a local level, we achieved a lot. I have already waxed long about the many events in Townsville in July and the truly large event hosted by 5 Avn Regt Wksp, with in excess of 400 current and former members of the Corps getting together. This was followed by the Open Day at Enoggera in early November where in excess of 200 guests were treated to several displays of equipment, good fellowship and a fine lunch.
