THE REGIMENTS (EDITORIAL DIARY) 01 NOVEMBER 2009
HI ALL
I THOUGHT THAT AFTER THE EXCELLENT WEEK END AT TYNE COT THAT IT WOULD BE A QUITE WEEK, WITH PLENTY OF TIME TO WRITE UP WHAT TOOK PLACE OVER THAT WEEK END, AND GIVE YOU A LITTLE HISTORY LESSON ON WHAT TOOK PLACE IN THE YPERS SALIENT DURING WWI.
SADLY, I STARTED IT BUT DID NOT MANAGE TO FINISH IT ALL AS REQUESTS FOR DOCUMENTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS CAME IN FROM ALL DIRECTIONS, AND SO SOMETHING HAD TO BE SHELVED.
I HAVE MOVED THE EDITORIAL BIT REF DAY ONE’S EVENTS AT TYNE COT TO THE LARGE PAGE AND ADDED DAY TWO.
DAY THREE I WILL TRY TO DO TODAY, SOME PHOTOGRAPHS I HAVE ADDED FROM THE WEEK END TO THE PHOTOGRAPH PAGE, AND SOME WITH THE ARTICLE, JUST TO ADD A LITTLE FLAVOUR.
WELCOME,
THIS WEEK SEES THE VISIT ON HERE OF BOB KING NOW IN MALAYSIA, AND ROGER FITZPATRICK
THE PARADE DATES
I REALLY HAVE HAD NO FIRM CONFIRMATION FROM ANY OF THE RHQs ABOUT THESE PARADES, OTHER THAT SOMEONE SAYING TO ME THAT THEY ARE ALL STARTING AT THE SAME TIME 1100hrs ON THE DATES ALREADY MENTIONED 3 DECEMBER WORCESTER, 4 DECEMBER DERBY, 5 DECEMBER NOTTINGHAM, WERE EACH ONE IS TO START (USUALLY AT THE CHURCH WERE THE SERVICE WILL TAKE PLACE) I DON’T REALLY KNOW.
THE REGIMENT
AGAIN WORD OF MOUTH ONLY NO WRITTEN CONFIRMATION, THAT THEY WOULD RETURN FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER, NO OTHER DETAILS CONCERNING LEAVE DATES HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED.
LAST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH
AGAIN A GOOD TURN OUT IN BEESTON, A FEW DRINKS AND A LAUGH, AND PASS THE PHOTOGRAPHS ROUND.
SATURDAY
AS I HAVE ALREADY STATED I HAD NO INTENTION OF GOING TO THE REUNION IN DERBY, I AM SORRY TO HAVE DISAPPOINTED THOSE THAT ASKED ME TO GO, MOST KNOW THE REASON, AND I WONT GO INTO THE DETAILS.
I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT ADVERTISING STRONGLY, IS THE KEY TO GETTING ACTUALLY MORE OF OUR EX GUYS TO GO TO THESE FUNCTIONS, AND NOT ALL THERE FAMILY AND FRIENDS, THE FIGURES QUOTED SHOW YOU THAT 80% WERE NOT EX REGIMENTAL GUYS.
