4 Field Regiment (SVN) 'Old Boys' Newsletter - March 2021 Edition

For the Fly enthusiasts, Garry Jones has been busy making flys. This is one of his efforts. I asked him what the target fish for this one was, and his reply was “ Any mentally deficient aquatic creature silly enough to take the bait.” For the South Australians: A couple of weeks ago I sent an email to which was attached the Assoc’s July Newsletter; an article therein advised of an Open Day to be held at 16 Regiment, RAA at Woodside Barracks on Sat 18 Sept. The following day I was advised that, due to the current uncertainty relating to Covid-19, the CO had decided to defer the Open Day to Sat 23 October. Please note the change of date in your diary, and I will advise details when they become available. Best wishes,Geoff Laurie From Brian Rudduck Peter, I wish Swifty well, if he is playing uno with the new game pack continue to love your relatives after each game. I played my grandkids but we are still talking Regards Brian RAA 150th Anniversary Whisky Release Available for sale Wednesday, 18 August 2021 RAA 150th Whisky Bottle (Option 3) Option One - $155 Chief’s Son Limited Release RAA 150th Whisky (700ml) in commemorative anniversary box with two laser etched Glencairn glasses.
