Reunion Raffle
Branches
should note that demands on the funds of the Association in respect of staging
the Annual Reunion are substantial.
The Reunion
Raffle goes some way in reducing this and Branches are expected to donate
prizes.
These
donations can be handed into The Light Infantry Office by Friday 9 September,
handed to the Secretary on the College Green prior to the parade or given to
Shirley at the Association Shop in Bede College. Please put your Branch title on
the donation. |

Ticket Sellers - Reunion raffle
The leading
Branch Bishop Auckland are reminded that as agreed by the June05 Executive
Committee meeting they are expected to provide two ticket sellers - one to
distribute the tickets and the other to collect the money.
The tickets
and a bank money-bag should be collected from the Association Shop at the
entrance to Caedmon Hall at Bede College at 1330 hrs.
Cost of the
tickets is 5 for £1.00

Calendar 2007
A Calendar
has been designed for the Association for 2007. The Calendar features a
series of photographs from our archive which we are sure will bring back
memories to many.
A colourful
cover will reveal that all the profits will be donated to the San Martino Trust
in memory of Major Ian English MC who was a founder trustee. It is
proposed that the Association make this annual donation to perpetuate the memory
of Ian.
The cost of
the calendar will be in the region of £3.50, however, this is only an estimate
at the moment.
Please advise
your members and if necessary take orders or reserve copies.
