The table layout.

 

The panorama below was taken towards the middle of the night, before the band started playing our music and a lot of people got stuck into the dancing.

 

 

Ted McEvoy took some video during the Meet and Greet, you can see it here.

 
 

 

On the Saturday morning, Ron Glew and Del Hueke briefed the troops on the current Advocacy, Entitlements and Support that is available from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

 

Del then explained the options and protocols that should be followed when considering an enduring Guardianship with Advanced Health Care.

 

Then it was David Bedingfield’s turn to update the troops on the latest Retirement Village legislation, options and protocols. You can see more on this in our Health and Welfare pages.

 

About 2.00pm on Saturday, the troops from 35 Sqn at Richmond arrived in their hired Herc which they had borrowed from 37 Sqn (marvellous what you can still get for a 6 pack). Stew had told everyone that he’d heard the Herc was going to execute a low level barrel roll followed by a touch and go on the sand so everyone hit the beach with their instamatics in anticipation.

 

But alas, ATC at Coffs had other ideas and kept the big bird seawards of the coast. The display was watered down to 2 straight and level fly pasts, one of which was very wild with the back door open. Now if Coffs was still an AFIZ as it was in the 70’s…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the fly past, the troops retired to the bar and the beach was once again left to the sea-gulls.

 

 

 

Did you hear about the bum who walked up to a Jewish mother on the street and said, "Lady I haven't eaten in three days." "Force yourself," she replied.

 

 

Then after all the excitement on the beach, (an A model would have done a proper job), the afternoon was free with those of the faith offered a few rounds of golf while the sensible ones sat with mates and reminisced or took to the room for a nana nap.
