North East Wales Veterans Day

[daibeer]

Hi all,
Come across this link on a biker site, just a point, why is their no representation made by the Royal Welsh at this event. If you visit the link, every man and his dog is attending except us. If we are being represented, it should be advertised.

Thanks

Totaly agree Dai, Senoir Regiment in Wales and not a mention, strange???

I will hazard a guess. The Welsh Guards have sown up the recruiting angle. It appears they seem to be the dominant military unit at the event.

Do we actually have anyone in Cardiff who's job is to monitor this sort of event. If the R.Marines, Guards, Legion and many other smaller organisations know about it, then why do'nt we?
It's not too late. There is an enquiry form on the link, so perhaps someone could manage to make an effort to participate. Or have we just resigned ourselves to let the Guards take over N.Wales

Very strange, it may be that we are not close enough to Cardiff.

I was trying to show a bit of restraint, but you actually hit the nail on the head

Hi Dai

Just took a look at the website to your link, it may be that no one in the Bn’s recruiting team and AYT were aware of the event, or they were otherwise engaged, as anyone wishing to participate needed to request permission to attend.

All the best

Hello Carl

Good to hear from you and to see your name on the forum, take a look through the site and you’ll find there are a lot of old Recce boys visiting the forum and if you have any pictures nothing to incriminating, then simply add them to the phot section of the forum with dates names and places, it all makes good viewing and brings back some fond memories, nothing like a drink of the old black stuff.

Pass on my regards to your miss’s and I hope the kids are doing well and keeping you up to date. And you’re looking after yourself and keeping busy. Drop us an email with your address, if you click on my name then follow the drop down menu and this will give you the options to send a private message. Hope to hear from you soon

All the best regards
Dai
