COMARRC’s Introduction
Welcome to the spring edition of the Imjin Magazine. As
ever with life at the ARRC, the start of 2018 saw us bid a
fond farewell to a number of families but I am delighted to
welcome their replacements. To the new arrivals, thank you for
volunteering to serve at HQ ARRC. I’m confident you will enjoy
your time here, not least due to the broad array of activities
and events on offer in Gloucestershire. It’s a cause for pride
amongst the HQ that these are so often organised, assisted
and enabled by members of the Imjin Community, as you will
see in the pages that follow.
The winter season saw the ARRC continue on its journey of
recalibration and learning – something which I know means a lot of
hard work from all of you. As always I extend my sincere thanks to you
and your families; it’s due to your commitment and professionalism,
as well as the huge support of your families, that the ARRC is so well
regarded across NATO. It’s also down to you all that our environment
is a happy one in which to work.
I hope you enjoy this edition of The Imjin. The production team have done a fine job once again in making it
informative and useful, full of ideas to exploit this interesting part of the world.

Words from
the Editor
As the weather is improving and the days are
getting longer, the opportunities for experiencing
everything the local area has to offer are ever more
present.
The team and contributors to this edition of the Imjin
Magazine have once again provided superb reviews
and information on a wide range of events and activities
to help you get the best possible enjoyment from the
area. I am hugely grateful to our contributors for their
submissions, and it’s because of their efforts that this
edition of the community magazine provides a wealth
of information on local activities, sports clubs, local
attractions, up-coming local and community events and
welfare information to help you find the right person to
speak to, should you need to. The ‘What’s On’ section
on pages 18-19 will provide you with local events taking
place all the way into July. The Welfare centre have
provided information about Easter events at the local
attractions to which they offer discounted tickets on
page 17, and on page 15 you can find details of local
clubs for your children to get involved with.
Should you need to refer to any of the information within
the magazine whilst you’re out and about, it’s available
at www.arrc.nato.int and is mobile friendly.
