RAF SQUAD UPDATE - MAY 2005

1. With a win in Holland under our belt and the Inter-Services rapidly approaching, here is an update on Squad matters.

2. I am currently updating the Squad Contact sheet so please make sure all of your personal contact details are correct and inform me of any changes ASAP.

3. All the planning for our major events is now well underway. In particular, the following are points to note:

a. Inter Services. Please find attached an Admin Order for the Event. The major point to note are the event is now from 30 May - 1 Jun. Accommodation is available from the Sun night to the Wed morning ONLY. Please let me know your availability ASAP.

b. Division 1 National. Accommodation for the National has been booked at RAF Halton for the duration of the practice. However, a problem exists on the Sunday night prior to the first day of practice. As accommodation is extremely tight that weekend, we may only be able to accommodate those who have travelled very long distances (over 80 miles) on that evening. Therefore, we will forego our traditional meet up on the Sunday and meet at the venue on the Monday morning, timings and locations to follow. All those wishing to utilise the Accommodation on the Sun, please contact Dusty Kiddell with your request.

c. European Military Champs. We will be sending a Team of 8 Anglers to this event to be held between the 20-25 Sep on the Darse du Ghlin, a canal offset in the Ghlin area of Mons. I need definite names by mid Jun so I can book the ferry tickets without having to pay for name changes.

4. We have heard no further news from Browning/Zebco reference a new sponsorship deal.

5. Again, may I remind you that we desperately need volunteers for the post of Strike Cmd Rep and Match Secretary. As you can appreciate, numbers in the RAF are shrinking continually. Therefore, it really is up to us to ensure we fill these important posts ASAP.
