Message from the Station Welfare Officer
First and foremost , I would like to thank Captain Gareth Dibble and the team for their efforts during an extremely difficult period . As you will be aware Gareth is now in the process of retiring and we at Welfare wish him and his family all the very best in the
future . I have now assumed the role of the Unit Welfare Officer for GARRC Sp Battalion from him .
A little bit about myself , I joined the military as a young boy in 1997 , once I completed my basic training and trade training , I joined the Royal Scots , now known as The 1st Battalion the Royal Regiment of Scotland , The Royal Scots Borderers . I have served for 24 years and been deployed on operations and exercises all over the world .
I am a family man , and I am joined here by my wife Lee-Ann , my 3 children : Lewis , Abbie and Ruby May as well as my 2 dogs Major and Myla . I have many interests and hobbies , including football , golf and rugby .
It ’ s been a very busy , but very enjoyable first six months for me . As well as getting to meet the community here , we have also hosted the Halloween Art competition in the Imjin Community Centre ( well done to all the winners ), enjoyed the Imjin Station fireworks and the children ’ s Christmas party . Thank you to all those who have supported these events . Finally , I wish all of you the very best for 2022 and I hope to meet you all at some point during my tenure here at Innsworth .
