Message from the Station Welfare Officer
Hi everyone , just a short message from myself and the welfare team . I hope you and your families are doing well and enjoying your time here at Imjin . Thank you for your continued support throughout this challenging but rewarding year in post as the Unit Welfare Officer . Families have enjoyed the Easter Egg Hunt in which the children explored their surroundings to solve a puzzle and receive a chocolate egg . Fun was had by all at the Queen ’ s Platinum Jubilee celebrations . Kids enjoyed having their face painted as well as the numerous activities that were available for the families on the day .
Although COVID is still here , the community centre has flourished with activities and organised groups such as coffee mornings , mums and tots , ASC events and Ghurkha ARRC Support Battalion events .
We look forward to the Summer , I hope you get the time to explore Gloucestershire and surrounding areas and take advantage of the Attraction tickets available .
On a personal note , I would like to say farewell to Ann Peaple , she has spent 12 years here at Imjin . She has had a pivotal role throughout her time , and she will be sadly missed . ‘ Thanks for all you have done Ann , enjoy your retirement and all the best !’.
