Massive reunion planned

By LCDR Mick Gallagher
While naval personnel are busy with operational requirements in 2003 a dedicated group is busy behind the scenes preparing for a National Naval Reunion in 2004.

“If you ever served in the RAN then join us with your family in Sydney from August 1-8, 2004,” said Ray Garlin, chairman of the committee.

The reunion will be one of the biggest ex service gatherings in Sydney for some time. Ship’s organizations and naval associations are expected to use the occasion to also arrange their own individual activities. Chief of Navy VADM Chris Ritchie has agreed to be patron and has appointed CAPT Andrew McKinnie as liaison officer.

Anyone with suggestions or how their units can be involved should contact the secretary Ray Simpson
