- We have finally nailed down the Lyttelton Recreational Ground caretaker. We have full usage of the ground and the pavilion for Saturday field trip. The keys will be dropped off to me on Wednesday 9/11 and Dee and I will go down and make sure that the pavilion is cleaned up ready for our BBQ on the Saturday.
- We've now hit the century for the dinner on Saturday night and the money is coming in nice and steady.
- We have now had confirmation from Army that we will have a bugler from 2 Cant Regt RNZIR Band for both the Armistice Day Parade and for our service on Sunday.
- The seating plan for the dinner is being filled out with various people placed throughout the plan so that we have a good balance at each leg of the tables. We haven't allocated a full seating plan as such and table places will be marked with name cards. We will (hopefully) have a seating plan on display prior to the dinner but things are very fluid at the moment with new registrations coming in.
- We have printed plastic name tags for everyone that has registered and these will be part of the registration pack that will be given out on registration at the venue. The name tabs show the loyalty card number that will allow participants discount drinks whenever they have a drink at the venue.
- We also need to make sure that everyone who is coming is aware that we have a courtesy coach available for pick up and delivery to the airport.
- Skin [Francis] is doing good work with the Canterbury Regt to obtain history items for the dinner.
The weekend is shaping up to be a great get together and we should continue to encourage our friends to attend. For me it has been a great experience as I have received calls and e-mails from many old friends that I have not heard from for many years. I think that we are onto something really great here and long may it continue into future years.
