The Regiment will be celebrating its 60th Anniversary in 2029, and the committee has started the process of investigating the viability of holding a reunion to commemorate the milestone.
There are a few considerations to investigate as the move of the Regiment, has changed the status quo that we have enjoyed over the years.
The status of Woodside Barracks is still unknown as the Government has not announced their intent, as far as we know.
The opportunity to conduct an event at Edinburgh is unknown, and will need to be investigated.
Some options for a reunion are:
1. Function held at Woodside Barracks, and visit to the Regiment at Edinburgh ( in the form of an open day),
2. Function and visit to Edinburgh,
3. Function in the Adelaide Hills, near woodside followed by a visit to the Barracks, and Edinburgh.
All options above have some logistic challenges and will need to be investigated for availability and cost.
The idea of putting this message out now is to hear from you the members. You may like the options above, or have ideas of your own.
Once we get through this first step, we intend to put out a survey on our website to get a consensus to move forward with.
No ideas is a bad idea, so please do not hesitate to let us know what you think.
