It will be published twice a year in the first instance, but as it grows, which I am sure it will, I would hope to see it published on a quarterly basis and in the future maybe even monthly, it’s all down to you and to how much content, pictures and stories you send us. I know from doing the rounds of the Battalion that there are a lot of fantastic things happening, but unfortunately they are not widely publicised. This newsletter will provide you with a platform ‘to shout from the rooftops’ about all 2 the good work and achievements going in in our Battalion, so please use it. Like all good things, this newsletter needs a name, so get your thinking caps on and send your suggestions to [email protected] & the winning entry will get to attend Annual Camp for free!! Annual Camp is rapidly approaching and final planning is going well. I look forward to seeing you all at camp where we have an action packed programme arranged ‘just for you’. Keep up the good work Colonel Stewart Mackenzie Commandant
