Nearly 130 members of the Association and guests sat down to a splendid luncheon in the WOs’ and Sgt’s Mess at HQ The ARRC at Innsworth on Saturday 23 March, following the packed Back Badge Reunion service at St. Mary de Lode church in Gloucester and march past through the city centre.  Fortuitously, the rain held off for the march past thus demonstrating that the sun shines on the good.  A stirring address was given by General Grist and the salute was taken by the Sheriff and Deputy Mayor of Gloucester, Cllr Justin Hudson, the High Sheriff of Gloucestershire, Mr Henry Robinson DL and Mr Roger Head OBE DL representing HM Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire.
