This month's highlight was without a doubt the Sovereign's Parade taken by Her Majesty The Queen.  She of course was not only there to take the Royal Salute, but to see her grandson OCdt W Wales Pass Out.  Luckily the weather held out albeit being a little windy!  The Foundation is now winding down from a very busy term including 5 Reunions and 2 weddings in 8 days!  May we take this opportunity to wish all our Members a very relaxing Christmas and Happy New Year.  We look forward to seeing even more members at events in 2007 and thank you all for your continued support.

Commandant's Parade Reunions - This term's Commandant's Parade saw four reunions.  They were all part of Intake 38 and consisted of Marne Company, Gaza Company, Dettingen Company and Burma Company.  A great day was had by everyone.  I am sure all those who attendned would wish to extend their thanks to Patrick Thompson (Ga), David Shaw(Det), John Scrivener(Ma) and Frank Steer(Bu) for organising their own company reunions.  Photos will be on the web in the New Year.  Please click >>here  and >>here to read a couple of testimonials.
