LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
To all Association Members.
Firstly may I wish every one of you and your families a Happy and Prosperous 2018.
Many of your will realise that during 2017 our Association underwent a fundamental change in it governance and structure and at the same time the reduction in the Civil Service manning levels within the MOD. In essence we no long- er have the support so handsomely given by the two Regimental Offices at Gloucester and Salisbury. Perhaps more importantly we will miss the corporate knowledge of both Lesley Bradshaw and Sue Nelmes.
The day to day running of the Association now falls to those of us who have volunteered to assume key appointments within the Associa- tion.
Before going on to provide you with an insight into how we will conduct our business in fu- ture I wish to pay tribute to Colonel Stephen Oxlade MBE, for the outstanding contribution he has given for the past ten years. Col Ste- phen has been at the helm from the time of the creation of the Rifles and has provided the calm and reassuring leadership required as new Regiments are formed, being conscious of members fierce loyalties to their own cap badge whilst transitioning to the new. I sus- pect that for many the highlight of his tenure will be the Association's Commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of Loos at Windsor. So on everyone’s behalf, heartfelt thanks to Colonel Stephen for not only that splendid occasion but also for the past ten years of endeavour and leadership.
With the loss of the support from the two County Offices the Association is going to have to rely completely on the work of volun- teers at all Levels.
Essentially each of the component counties from the Regimental Areas of the RGBW foot- fall will now assume responsibility for organis- ing and running the Reunion Events that
happen in Berkshire, Gloucestershire and Wilt- shire. So Gloucestershire Committee will run and organise the Back Badge Reunion at St Mary’s Lode, the Berkshire Committee will run with the Maiwand weekend reunion in Reading and the Wiltshire Committee will assume responsibility for organising the Salisbury and Devizes Reunion week ends Events like the Officers Chavenage Lunch and the RGBW Officers lunch at the Ward- robe will be run outside of the Association Gov- ernance though whatever support the Association is able to provide will be forthcoming.
Our biggest problem at the moment is ensuring we can communicate effectively with all our for- mer Regimental Members. In the past the Annual Newsletter was sent out by mail. As the then Cura- tor of the Museum at the Wardrobe I used to see the team drawn in By Lt Col John Venus to enve- lope the Newsletters whilst the museum attendant made numerous return journeys to the post office with a laden sack trolley. With the advent of IT we have progressed to electronic distribution, howev- er one point has becoming glaringly obvious as we have assumed the data base of the member- ship. If the data is correct we have a data base of some 11,000 former Regimental Members but less than 1,900 email addresses. So I will be ask- ing Branches to ensure that those Local Branch Members who do not use computers are given hard copies of the Calling Notices for the Reun- ions Events so that they are able to bid for a place and we can hopefully increase the numbers at- tending and reverse the trend of a drop in num- bers in 2017 due I suspect to no Newsletter going out.
Whilst this Newssheet is brief and to the point the aim is to produce a monthly one to allow Branches to post news and reports of future and recent Events so please pass on any input to the Secretary or Chairman.
