	Calendar 2007 As previously reported the Association has produced a calendar for 2007. Each page of the calendar portrays a rare regimental photograph.

They are priced at £5.00 plus 50p postage and can be obtained in similar fashion to the Calendar (see above).
	Branch Bulletins Secretaries are reminded that these Bulletins are items of correspondence and as such should be read out to members at the next available Branch meeting.

	Christmas Cards 2006 Branches are advised that we are down to the last box of Christmas Cards and those members and Branches who have not yet ordered should do so without delay. Web site users should order on 0191 386 5496
	Annual Reunion All members who attended the Annual Reunion on Sunday 10 September are to be congratulated for their smartness and general discipline. However, observations have been made regarding the wearing of unofficial medals alongside, and in some cases on the same bar as, those officially issued. This is improper and should be discouraged.
	Reunion Raffle We wish to thank the Bishop Auckland Branch for running the Reunion Raffle. £180 was raised and went some way to reduce the costs of the Reunion. Two Raffle prizes remain unclaimed - numbers 2416 and 2889. They are both bottles of whisky. Check your tickets. If they remain unclaimed they will swell the prizes at the Indoor Games raffle in March 2007.
	Deaths The deaths of the following ex-members of the Regiment have been reported to The Light Infantry Office Nicholas Owens, formerly of 8 Bn (TA) Fred Verdun Parkinson, formerly of 6 Bn MAY THEY REST IN PEACE
