The plan is based on developing what is already in place and instituting two new welfare programs in conjunction with 16 Fd Regt.
Herewith the bullet points;
1. Membership would be for all gunners (serving and ex), not restricted by having paid the annual sub. We would still keep the $20 per year `donation` in place to cover the cost of printing and posting newsletters, and only those who are financial would be eligible to receive a printed copy. We would then become truly representative of the whole `family of gunners`.
2.The primary aim remains welfare and we would aim at reinvigorating the annual calendar (4 main events through the year being ANZAC Day, Gunners Day, Reunion/AGM, St Barabaras Day) by such things as the ANZAC Day Free Wreath offer which you may have seen posted on Muzzleflashes.
3. We wish to institute two new welfare programs;
a. Mentorship Program; to provide mentors outside of the command chain to serving soldiers. (I will be guiding this program myself and I will start asking around shortly for ex-gunners who would also like to help as mentors for serving NCOs and YOs. The recipients of this email would seem to be ideally suited to the requirement!). I will advise when the details of how we provide this service are worked out with 16 Fd Regt.
b.Transition/Employment Program. We would like to use our network of HR experts and Employers to provide assistance to gunners as they move to Civvy St. John Botica has agreed to look at how this program may work, and hopefully a network may be established which any of our members may access, not just serving gunners.
4. We see the opportunity to develop the `Areas of Common Interest` such as reenactments/technical equipment forums etc. Colin Jansen will be looking at this area.
All these ideas are in DRAFT only at this stage, and the committee welcomes any feedback you may have on these proposals.
