A message from the CO RCD: LCol Dyrald Cross
Ladies and Gentlemen,
As a result of the Regiment's upcoming participation in Exercise Maple
Resolve in Wainwright, the dates of the Leliefontein 2011 celebration have
been adjusted from what you might normally have expected them to be. The
intent with this brief email is to allow sufficient lead time for calendar
deconfliction so as to ensure that we are able to achieve maximum
participation in what amounts to our regimental family reunion; a family
reunion during which we expect to be able to acknowledge the achievements of
the likes of LGen Chris Davis, MGen Matt MacDonald, MGen Mike Ward, Col Mike
Cessford, Col Bill Brough, LCol Ryder-Burbidge, Capt Tom Skelding, MWO Terry
Chesterman, Sgt Randy Payne and a host of others. Given the size of this
august group, it is my commitment to you to acknowledge their careers with
the dignity and respect they deserve, and more importantly, to do so in the
most concise manner possible. While full details will be promulgated in the
fullness of time, for planning purposes, you should consider the following:
Friday, 18 November:
Sr Serving Update
Guild Meeting
Combined and Mixed Officer and Senior NCO Dining-In (1800 for 1830hrs)
Saturday, 19 November :
Parade (commences 1100hrs)
All Ranks Dinner and Dance (1800 for 1830hrs)
The Regimental Sergeant Major, CWO Bill Richards, and I speak for all
Dragoons when we say that we are looking forward to enjoying your company.
Sincerely,
Dyrald
Dyrald Cross
Lieutenant-Colonel | lieutenant-colonel
Commanding Officer
